"Philosophy is the last resort for pseudo-intellectual teenagers who are too uneducated to talk about actual science and math where their basless drivel would be objectively disproved."

Who needs philosophy when we have science?

Oh man I love mental masturbation too.

This reminds me of a funny thing I had learned in a QM conference, a while ago. The guy was talking about how QM and wave functions are a conception of the mind and we have few ways to represent such concepts in a concrete manner. And he told us that until recently, atoms were also quite abtract and troll philosophers often questioned this vision of the universe in a retarded "how can you believe in atoms if it's just a theory (a geuss)?" Until tunnel effect microscopes were invented. And to philosophers' disappointment, atoms were available for everyone to see: a row of beautiful, rounded, lined up shapes. Some scientists drew kanjis and dicks with cobalt atoms on some iron layer, and took pictures with that microscope. That discovery was a major victory of science over the pathetic mind-masturbating try-hard wanna-be-edgy field that has become contemporary philosophy. While you still argue whether God is all-in-one or one-in-all, we invent microscopes and cure cancer. And no matter how much you yell "DURR U CANNOT PROVE NOTHING", our stuff works. No hard feelings though.
