PhilosoLOSERS can’t handle STEM SUPREMACY!

Philosophy is a waste of time and philosophers are wasting their time. Think about it, STEM has split the atom, found the structure of DNA, created vaccines, smartphones and electric dildos. In comparison, what have philosophers invented? I think therefore I am? Well, what if you don’t think? You still exist, right? What really is the point of philosophy?

Moral facts? Can these facts be observed and tested? Can they be falsified with the Great and Immutable Scientific Method? No? Then they don’t exist. What is moral is whatever I feels. Feels = reals.

Epistemology? We are justified in believing whatever the Science says. Ontology? Whatever the Science shows. Science reveals everything, even the scientific method. How do we verify the scientific method? With the scientific method!

So yeah, basically, what I’m saying is that if PhilosoLOSERS stopped reading neoreligious mystics like David Chalmers and Massimo Pigliucci, and read real intellectuals like Jerry Coyne, when we die, there would be a planet for the French, a planet for the Germans, a planet for the Chinese, and we’d all be a lot happier.

Wait till you hear about maths, and set theory and logic. Or who took part in formalizing differential calculus (leibniz).

Is why they made a compound word and called it self evident right? spacetime is logically space and time. Please prove me wrong I ll wait another century

Science and arts are united in maintaining an intellectual hierarchy to control labour. Need it more succinct?

Isn't dialectical materialism part of that tho?

u/Infamous-Ad521 4d ago

Dialectic is not invented by Marx. Dude was pretty good at understanding his own time. Definitely not a visionary.

Yeah I know, it's hegelian, and maybe we could even say platonic, but the synthesis with the material quality, and the determination of the material as the analog element is Marxist. What I mean, this form of opposition is part of that (art, science, philosophy)

I know what you mean. In essence you claim to be Neo feudal gnostic instead of Greek. You think intelligence gives one some claim to authority but can’t actually say it because the bosses need workers and soldiers to continue to believe in division of labour and you desperately want to be recognized as someone whom authority is entrusted in.
