>It describes how it works

HOW WHAT WORKS? I want an explanation to what is being described to me. What is a field?

Description:
>A unicorn is a 4 legged creature that is usually white in color. It has a long horn that protrudes from the top of its head and is similar to a horse.

So where is the fucking unicorn?

Explanation:
A unicorn is a fantasy creature that was made up. The reason was to romanticize the horse more for story telling because the horse is a domesticated and loved creature that can be related to do to the history humans have with them. They don't actually exist, but perhaps could with genetic alterations to an actual horse.

>That's called an existential question. It has equivalent epistemology to assigning "purpose" to life
Once again, we're in the real world using science here. Concerned with organizing knowledge, making observations ,experiments and you know, determining stuff without making blind assumptions by having at least a hypothesis that has a proposed explanation. Not feelings or random shots in the dark with no rhyme or reason.


>Things can just be what they are
>I birthed myself and always existed forever

>it doesn't have to come with an explanation
Yeah right, why even have science and philosophy? See, we have explanations for a reason and the reason is because knowledge is a really useful thing to have. It sucks being stupid.

>Trying to make sense of it is just something we do. Sometimes that leads to circular reasoning and we really don't know what's happening. In that case we've made an emotional choice to go on living despite our ignorance of phenomenology.
So basically you don't know what you're talking about.

Does anyone else perhaps know what a "field" is and what causes a field?

Which would you rather be? Which would make a more successful scientist.

1) Feel super-smart at all times, have super-confidence in your intelligence and potential but have average IQ.

2) Have super-IQ but feel insecure about your abilities and intelligence, believe that you're basically average.
