philosophy, that is
its scientific to understand a tomato is a fruit, but it takes philosophy to understand that you dont put it in a fruit salad?
3 pages of schopenhauer explain a shitton
Fruit is an arbitrary definition
We build walls around fuzzy concepts and label them
You didn't demonstrate how It is bullshit. Scientism gives explanations of objects, by reducing them to their components and qualities. A human isn't a human, but a bundle of cells
look at the conservative over here
what does philosophy do?
How are you going to prove that a human is
Philosophy is level wisdom
Science doesn’t reduce things to components it also studies the relationships which are more important than the components
The ability to logically get to a conclusion of what is out there
and more
That’s what anti reductionists get wrongs
Relationships are everything
@fuguer relations are also reductionist
so just thinking about thinking
Philosophy is gay. <:FeelsKek:379422423206068245> Anyone can do it. All philosophy is is day dreaming and some flibba bothered to write it down. <:pepekek:649611550809653248>
i like thinking about thinking
and metaphors
if that's philosophy, then i like those things
I wish you could see the world as i see it
science is just about predictions tbh, what else would it be? more lab coats and beakers = more scientific?
a lot of philosophy seems to be overly complex explanations of simple phenomena
You can't explain why a painting is representing something, by saying there is a bunch of paint particles on paper, you see for example a picture of war, It represents war. Its also not Its relationship with humans
with lots of invented terminology
pointlessly
Yes that’s why I’m saying calling science reductionist misses the point that relationships are what’s important
@fuguer Relations are just another way to reduce objects. A human is not a relation of cells, Its a human
hnnnnnggggggg
How the paint interacts with photons and your eye and then your neurons
humans are gay
sometimes i hear a devotee of some particular philosophy accidentally slip into normal speech and explain his whole idea in a very simple, sensible way
@stem language is made up of invented terminologies. Does that make it false?
But that’s very complex and hard to reduce to a sound bite
then he goes back to the vague bullshit
Lol same banjod
