In math and science there is progress and answers.

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

math & science are focused on external reality and how to control it

philosophy is like looking in a mirror and talking to yourself

Science is literally anti-Socratic for its emphasis on physical reality instead of the spiritual. Remember that Socrates hated Anaxogras for talking about physical matters and not the whole.

In my view, the making explicit of a problem such as the phenomena-noumena distinction in the realm of discourse is an example of progress. Whether you think thoughts are eternal or not, the making explicit of this problem schema seems to show a genuine progress in the ability to articulate the aspects of reality which become problems under analysis. Even if a universally agreed upon answer doesn’t exist, the problem itself shows a higher order of self-conscious reflection now common to the field.

What are the questions you want answers to? I mean I'm a biology/chemistry pleb so I fall in neither category, but I sense you don't want any actual answers. You just want to engage in more intellectual masturbation while pretending you are above it.

>control it
So much of science is realizing how little control we have over most things, the more you learn the more phenomena becomes confusing and less understandable, only predictable.

This is incorrect. Maybe if you'd read some of that intellectual masturbation, you'd have realized that.
