I can illustrate the ... approach with the ... image of a nut to be opened. The first
analogy that came to my mind is of immersing the nut in some softening liquid, and why
not simply water? From time to time you rub so the liquid penetrates better, and otherwise
you let time pass. The shell becomes more flexible through weeks and months — when the
time is ripe, hand pressure is enough, the shell opens like a perfectly ripened avocado! . . .
A different image came to me a few weeks ago. The unknown thing to be known
appeared to me as some stretch of earth or hard marl, resisting penetration ... the sea
advances insensibly in silence, nothing seems to happen, nothing moves, the water is so
far off you hardly hear it ... yet finally it surrounds the resistant substance.

There are two kinds of scientists. Those who acknowledge that their minds were formed by philosophy and those whose are blind to it whose minds were formed by it through second hand sources usually by interacting with the former kind.

got it, science is the best branch of philosophy
>There are two kinds of scientists.
there are two kinds of scientists, soft positivists and hard positivists. if a person didn't believe science was the best way of acquiring knowledge about the natural world then why would they become a scientist?

Dawkins was rightly criticizing post-modern and 3rd-wave feminism lunacy. Though I have never heard him speak on the subject, I doubt he has contempt for actual epistemology or proper philosophy of science.

Even normal asphalt roads just being walked on, or rained on with the sun would of destroyed it in less than a 100 years. Philosopher chads win.

It will not be we who reach Alpha Centauri and the other nearby stars. It will be a species very like us, but with more of our strengths, and fewer of our weaknesses. More confident, farseeing, capable, and prudent. For all our failings, despite our limitations and fallibilities, we humans are capable of greatness.
-Carl Sagan (Earth)

Just stumbled across this, thought I'd share.
>In his foreword to Max Jammer's Concepts of Space: The History of Theories of Space in Physics, Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1969, p. xi-xii, Albert Einstein made the following profound observation:

>>the scientist makes use of a whole arsenal of concepts which he imbibed practically with his mother's milk; and seldom if ever is he aware of the eternally problematic character of his concepts. He uses this conceptual material, or, speaking more exactly, these conceptual tools of thought, as something obviously, immutably given; something having an objective value of truth which is hardly even, and in any case not seriously, to be doubted.

>>in the interests of science it is necessary over and over again to engage in the critique of these fundamental concepts, in order that we may not unconsciously be ruled by them.
