>Do you have any evidence to support your statements?
At the moment this question is asked, the philosopher trembles and shakes in sweat and say "b-but y-you can't know nuffin man..."
Why does this kills the philosopher? Why do people even bother with philosophy, in our current age, when philosophy is 100% subservient to any STEM discovery? Are all philosophers just charlatans who were bad at high school math? What are some books for this feel?

No philosopher would deny you need evidence to back up (empirical) claims. But there are more questions to ask than just empirical ones. Empiricism exists as a subset of rationalist epistemology.

The methodical excavation of the occult
abstract cartography intrinsic to decimal numeracy constitutes the first great task of deconstructing STEM worship.

The entirety of Greek philosophy (i.e. actual philosophy) is founded on evidence yet is not encapsulated by it. Either you haven't read a single passage of Aristotle or you were too dumb to detect the countless appeals to evidence in them.
