/sci/ - Science & Math

Philosophy is two things, firstly it is excersize for your brain just in the same way that reading fiction is excersize for your imagination. Philosophy is a slow burn that can take years or decades but it leads to places that science and math can't show you, because they are confined in comparison

Secondly it is the collective history of knowledge, by studying philosophy you are studying the history of great thought and by this means you are standing on the shoulders of giants. Don't be so quick to dismiss the older knowledge, as I grew older technical things impressed me less and less, and esoteric knowledge was my go to for excesizing my brain
