>philosophy is deadwas he right?
No, and he was a Epstein associated sex pest despite barely being able to move.
His ALS had made him retarded by the end of the 1980s and after that, everything was written by his handlers.
>>18576836LOL
>>18576815That's an interesting philosophical claim, did he support it with a philosophical argument?
>>18577500>How can we understand the world in which we find ourselves? How does the universe behave? What is the nature of reality? Where did all this come from? Did the universe need a creator?>Traditionally these are questions for philosophy, but philosophy is dead. Philosophy has not kept up with modern developments in science, particularly physics.>Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge... they lead us to a new picture of the universe and our place in it that is very different from the traditional one, and different even from the picture we might have painted just a decade or two ago.
>>18576815No, and we can use philosophy to argue against it.Science is the practice of ascertaining knowledge. Philosophy is the practice of dispelling myth, and myths arise even outside of science. At least the hard sciences.
>>18577512Scientism is a braindamaged philosophy.
"Philosophy is dead" implies it was alive. It's not. It's an intellectual virus. It can infect many minds. It often becomes a distraction from more serious subjects, and may lead people astray from their firmly held convictions.When Socrates was a young man, he was interested in natural philosophy (what we nowadays call the "natural sciences") and pursued athletics, but also dutifully served for his city-state's armed forces. When he became older, he ceased to be athletic, grew fond of wine and music, and became a moral philosopher, bothering people as to their convictions about the good and the true.Many great minds, like Wittgenstein, Husserl, Quine, and Kripke, also fell for speculative philosophy's wiles, setting aside their more pursuits in other fields.Philosophy can be good in small portions, if anything, for the sake of serving as a form of protection against seductive arguments by more radical thinkers, but one cannot live only by thinking of everything in a purely philosophical way. When philosophy professors expect their paycheck at the end of the month, or when they drive their car to their local college to give lectures, they do not do so in a philosophical way, but rather as ordinary humans with an ordinary, naïve understanding of reality.
Threadly reminder that if you're not thinking philosophically on a regular basis, you're a mindless automaton.
>>18577551This. But you've written too much about this subject. Philosophy is just intellectual masturbation, that pretend to be something higher.
>Systematically reflecting on my beliefs instead of keeping them implicit and taking them for granted is just intellectual masturbation, that pretend to be something higher.
>>18577560Using weaponized pictures with Wojak it isn't very philosophical way...
>>18577537He's literally right.
>>18577573He's trivially wrong and only submidwit cretins build their idea of reality and the human condition around Science (Current Year Edition).
>>18577583Science is always profoundly wrong about reality on a fundamental level, but you can't just ignore its findings, so what are you supposed to do with all this information? How are you supposed to integrate it? That's one philosophical conundrum science obviously can't answer.
>>18577606Which science?There are hundreds of thousands of researchers who just study one extremely niche area, like pharmacological treatments for middle-aged men suffering from kidney disorders, shell-growth patterns in South American river mollusks, or hyperspecific zinc alloys used for miscellaneous purposes. They don't all have to study something great or impactful, or in any way paradigm-changing. Many studies do little more than to fill in minuscule gaps in knowledge about something that people a few decades prior would've most likely not even thought of. Most people do not study "God" or the "universe". Even the ones who study subjects like astrophysics are more concerned about the specifics of determining the position of one star or a star cluster from signals gathered off a telescope than from the ultimate purpose of the universe or reality.While there are many claims or conclusions that are dubious in specific papers, and there may be sampling biases in many studies, it is difficult, if not impossible to say that "science" "is" wrong about many things, as if every single researcher in every single field were following one agenda or every single researcher made use of the same methods and ontological commitments.Philosophers do not need to concern themselves with trying to disprove "science". They can instead focus on thought experiments about language, the mind, ethics, and other abstract stuff that does not and cannot make use of empirical evidence.
>>18577583>>18577606>The scientific method occasionally produces bad outcomes that are later corrected through more research and experimentation.>This pales in comparison to my strategy, which is to think about something for a long time until I decide I am correct.
>>18576836Bodied that freak
>>18576815He was really into feet.
>>18577567But it is relevant because black holes are retarded fakery and definitely not real.Just like dark energy really.Also, the cosmological axis of evil definitely is real.
>>18577875>black holes are retarded fakeryWhat causes picrel then?
>>18576815>>18577512Ah okay, so it's basic God-hatred. Imagine being so thoroughly crippled that you can only move your eyes. Through human ingenuity you're given the means to communicate and carry on your work. And what do you do? Pour 100% of what energy you have left into HATING the God of the Bible. I'm so glad Hell exists for vermin like Stephen Hawking.
>>18578104>Science is a better process for explaining the nature of the universe than philosophy.AAAAAAAAAA FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU YOU STUPID CRIPPLED ASSHOLE MY MAGIC SKY JEW IS GOING TO BOIL YOU IN LIQUID SHIT FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
