@Thammuz I haven’t because i don’t see a reason to. You’ve not made any argument either, by the way, you asserted your point as fact, pretty bluntly too, and left it at that. Which from an absolute nobody-until-proven-otherwise is pretty idiotic.
And by the way the feeling is reciprocated, i don’t like talking to people whose whole argument is “i’m on drugs, so i’m going to ramble incoherently for two paragraphs and act as if i’m right” and who take replying to a question lightly enough that they will happily substitute their drug induced bullshit to a cohrent and well formulated response.
And yeah, i did just diss philosophy because, from Descartes on, it has entered the realm of self referring mental masturbation, ceasing to have any utility for the real world.
The greeks saw philosophy as we see science today, a way to understand science through reason, the problem is that since Descartes it’s become understanding reality through “reason alone”. Which is bullshit, because without grounding in fact you can prove everything you want.
I don’t like Descartes, he was not a coherent man. If he was, he’d have lived his life utterly unshaken by what happend around him, because he couldn’t have been sure about any of it being real. Probably dying in about a week, out of thirst.
Which is not saying that he was wrong, mind you, he’s absolutely right about the fact that we can’t know anything outside ourselves, and even there i’d have my doubts, but these are inconsequential facts, they don’t affect anything, because you’ll still eat when you’re hungry, drink when you’re thirsty and so on.
As for science being a religion without its context, i really don’t see what the hell you mean by this. Science is a method. Its axioms are the same axioms everyone uses on a day to day basis and have proven themselves to be satisfactory and useful. You think the method doesn’t work? Don’t use your fridge for a week.
The efficacy of a system is proven on its results, Goedel’s theorem doesn’t change anything form a practical standpoint and, while theory is all well and good, it’s not on theory that we live and thrive.
And since this is completely off topic i’ll put it all in whisper, hoping a mod doesn’t decide to delete it anyway
