In math and science there is progress and answers.

In philosophy there is 2500 years of intellectual masturbation and nothing more.

Mathematically or scientifically answer why there is something instead of nothing. In 300 years, science has answered not a single serious question. It has answered scientific questions, but it has not answered a single question which a Man, not a scientist, would care to ask.

“Why” implies causality. Everything in the universe is based on cause and effect, but we have no reason to believe that cause and effect remains valid outside of the universe.

Therefore, there is no reason why there is something instead of nothing.

If "why" means some purpose the answer is that there is no why
If it means how than it's still unknown as no of the existing hypothesis have gather enough evidence to be truly proven and there is also the question if "nothingness" was/is even a thing in the first place instead of just an abstract concept without any weight in reality

You believe that there is an answer as to “how” the universe, being, etc. has evidently come to be. This supposition is faith without evidence. On the grandest level, i.e. true knowledge of the oneness of being, “how” and “why” are indistinguishable. You simply cannot provide me with a real “why” or “how” grounded in anything other than faith, for the answer does not exist in the realm of science, and never will.

Logic is immaterial, yet obeys the law of causality. The truth of premises causes valid conclusions. Thus not only our physical reality, but also a metaphysical reality obeys the law of causality. If causality is not limited to our physical reality, then there is reason to speculate about a metaphysical cause of the universe

0 + 0 = 0, 0 + 1 = 1. a lack of nothing is not necessarily anything, but something is unequivocally not nothing.

Progress in both ceased when the disciplines were separated and they both have been masturbatory ever since. Hate to agree with the trad larpers but they are right on this one.

I feel like psychology could have been a huge progress for philosophy but the stringent scientific approach used so as to gain results as good as physics ruined any chance it had.

[Anonymous No.21540632]

OP has to be a Burger. Anyway - philosophy drags society to whichever direction it wants. Philosophy is such a powerful tool, that it has the power to shape the destiny of mankind, like no other human skill can. In fact, the kind of reasoning behind your post, was more or less a product of philosophy.


Humans are slaves of dead philosophers.

Far too high IQ for this board. But If you would read philosophy like Parmenides you would know that philosophy already discovered this.

>>21541477
Is it appropriate to say they have no cause just because they're not part of a temporal causal chain? The "no cause" perspective shuts down thought but logic says something that obeys rules like a virtual particle is bound to a logical cause. There is some logical structure that shapes the emergent phenomena, causes it to express as it does in a somewhat predictable way.
