Doesn't it just make you cringe a bit every time you hear some shit like "Physics is just applied philosophy." Lol, there are some weird niggas on this planet.

This post makes me cringe, 2bh.
Physics is poop kek
>>7718778
physics is applied mathematics which is applied philosophy
so, they'd be right, but in that world you could say that biology is applied philosophy without being totally wrong so it really doesn't matter
Science is the practice of the scientific method
The scientific method is a philisophical construct
Science is applied epistemology
Physics is applied epistemology
Physics is applied philosophy
Q.E.D, O.P

who says this?
Shitposting is applied autism
>tfw you are a humanitiesfag at a top tier uni who studies the history of the epistemology of the natural sciences
>tfw STEM people rarely have any inkling how non-linear, relativistic, and culturally determined their epistemological regimes are
>tfw the best you can occasionally get out of them is some awareness of kuhn

It makes me cringe every time I hear a physics student say full of smugness "I'm a physicists". Then you ask him something and he proceeds to "ehm, ehm" and give you some retarded pop-sci explantation.
So glad I study maths.

underrated post
Anyone who says that has never taken a course in QFT. Probably the most "shut up and calculate" type of course I have taken. No philosophy what so ever.

Knowing about the philosophy of science has basically no effect on the ability of scientists to make new discoveries. I don't even know what you mean by a "nonlinear, relativistic, and culturally determined epistemiological regime" or what it has to do with the apparently obvious idea of formulating theories to explain observed phenomena and checking them.

Those are plebs. The future STEM leaders are so IQ-endowed that they started having existential crises at age 6 and teenage years that could be most accurately summarized as an unbroken string of religious experiences and philosophical realizations. It goes without saying that they've read the important religious texts and started with the Greeks before graduating high school.
