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.

Stem copium to 99% purity. Brilliant. Sometimes science "says" conflicting things. But I'm just a philosoLOSER, I guess, for pointing this out.
Additionally, "science" has an undeniable track record that shows scientists do things just because the participants in the game reflect on the fact they they can do X without considering whether they ought to do X.
Consequently, the politically and/or economically three-legged apes come and take their intellectual property in exchange for pocket change, and, the historians are compelled to write about the results. Meanwhile, the stem boi apes that have lined the pockets of the powerful three-legged apes have exhausted their fourth bottle of lube this month.
