>dude why do you care about [question]? Just keep crunching the numbers instead of trying to think!
Look at this mental midget and laugh. Literal NPC-tier ""reasoning"".

Philosophers work hand in hand with scientists at the start of a new field to make sure that clear conceptual thinking is being used.

The most modern example: philosophers engaging with neuroscientists on consciousness.

Why the hate, /sci/?

Is philosophy dead?

Should STEM curriculums include mandatory Philosophy classes?

How come /lit/ outsmarts /sci/ in both science and philosophy?

While i disagree with much of these anons sayings they nonetheless address the issue: The epistemological limitations of human beings.

Think about it. Human beings are apes. We experience the world in 3 dimensions, can only hold 7 digits in our head on average and can focus on 4 things simultaneously.

The material world is complicated, dynamic and always changing. It's literally a giant mess of processes at every level of ontology from physics, chemics, biology, psychology, sociology etc. which each domain having its own emergentic rules.

The fact that human beings have come this far in some sciences is IMO due to rationality. It is by rationality we sort the materiel world to simplified laws which we sometimes can emperically test within the limitations of our perception.

The problem here is the great limitations of our perception and cognition. Really if you look at a bug its obvious it doesn't know shit. Just because we have consciousness and language we are still incredibly limited.

The thing is continental philosophy (and good analytical philosophy) is the bet on rationality as main source of knowledge: The evaluation and creation of concepts through critical thinking. Empiricism is important but limited.

The good thing is however that we now know enough to minimize humanities suffering (technological advancement in medicine and biology, simple psychological and sociological truths and so on) and create a beautiful world. However this is a political struggle and the greatest struggle of science in the 21th century will be related to this.

How will /sci/ ever recover?

So what /sci/ does everyday with other fields like philosophy?

Today I will remind them

It's almost as if this place is infested with retards who can't into philosophy.

>In Munich, Planck enrolled as a student in the well-respected Maximilian Gymnasium school. Planck excelled in school and was interested in many subjects. He enjoyed the study of philosophy and was a gifted musician. However, he had also become very interested in physics thanks to his math teacher, Herman Muller, who spent extra time teaching him about astronomy and physics.

>tfw modern physicist are contaminated by the faggots on the right and think that "philosophy is dumb" and not helpful to physics.

allmost all of the renowned researchers/scholars never cared about fame , they cared about their field which which granted them their fame.
Do you seriously want to be pop scientist , known only for your twitter rants ,appearing only in DIscovery channel documentaries about quantum physics and arguing about religion ?
If you want a fame you can become writter/actor or even twitch streamer.
