Before Galileo science and philosophy were the same thing

Agreed.

I don't have the expertise needed to understand some of their specialized technical language and I accept this. On the other hand, Engineer's disease is fucking cancer.

Science is created by autists right?

I agree.

We've lost the essence of discovery and replaced it with a cynical pragmatism. We believe we can do everything, that there is nothing left to be discovered.

> Natural scientists talking about social sciences
> Social sciences talking about natural sciences
Nothing good has ever came out of this. The only people qualified to talk about it are people in disciplines dealing with both, like epidemiology and geography, and then again they can't really talk about anything outside their own fields.

Scientists kind of need scientific philosophy in order to be decent scientists.

My biggest issue is when Social Sciences treat their subjects as a natural science. Fuck legal positivism desu

Math = Axioms.
Science = Scientific Method.
Humanities = muh feelings.
>>
>>507640
Philoshopy = Axioms + Logic
Math = A sub-field of Philosophy

History = literal account of events

History + Philosophy are the most important fields in the Humanities

yeah, I'm sure no biases ever exist in history. Our accounts are 100%, literal and accurate of real events in the past.

Philosophy = Logic without other axioms
rest of Humanities = Scientific method

Usually when philosophers talk about science they talk about the scientific method by itself, not about the quality of some actual theory within this method. And I think they have every right to since the scientific method is a matter of philosophy, not science.
Never heard of a famous philosopher talking shit about geometric quantization or stuff like that.

Pop-scientists often dismiss philosophy as a whole, likely without ever opening a book about it.

People just have to keep in mind that scientists talking about philosophy is as legit as medical doctors denying global warming and used as a front to show the "divide in the scientific community".

Listening to pop-scientists to gauge the opinions of the scientific community at large is like listening to John Green to figure out what philosophers are like.

>>508517
I do agree that actual scientists probably don't have that opinion on philosophy as often, but pop-scientists are the gateway peasants use to get into science, so that opinion gets much more coverage.
Hell, le wheelchair science man said that philosophy is dead, while Lawrence Krauss iirc wrote a paper along those lines.
