It depends. Today there's a reason both are separate fields, it's stupid to deny science stems from philosophy like some people do (soience fans)
If you mean retards like >>15755254, who are most likely undergraduate STEM majors that for whatever reason attach their existence and identity with the field they're studying and disregard philosophy and pretty much everything else that isn't the sperg. niche field they're studying, then yes.

No, it's the hallmark of developing objectively useful scientific models which accurately describe nature....not that the buffoon pictured would know anything about that. Once you introduce philosophy, you open the gate to "interpretations" of data, i.e. the point at which you can essentially just apply any weed smoker "deep" ideas about nature you want to the mathematics that are developed by real physicists because "nobody can prove otherwise."

Once you introduce philossophy, you open the door to reflection about the fact that you interpret the data no matter what. This is inconvenient for those who control you and shape your interpretations. They want their middling-IQ lab monkeys interpreting data in a very particular way that suits certain moneyed interests and they don't want you reflecting on this fact.

because in the past 70 or so years, and accelerating in recent times, science has become incapable of using inductive reasoning to posit new frameworks outside of existing theories. It has instead become a simple exercise in applying computational power to data. Anything that can't be explained by computing power + existing theory is either ignored or explained away as 'dark matter' tier cludges added on to said pre-existing frameworks. There is no such thing as innovation anymore, and any innovation that may be is dismissed as pseudo-science or philosophical ramblings.

that question belongs to the realm of philosophy of science, not science itself. Therefore it doesn't even need an argument from empiricism. But I can argue as I just did, by saying the advances humanity has made since the scientific revolution speak for themselves when considered against what came before. One system of knowledge is the primary driver of the advance, and its not the one that's been moving humanity forward at a snail's pace for thousands of years. Philosophy plays a part, but it's like a bicycle with a rocket engine strapped to the back. We all know what's primarily responsible for the modern world

>> No.15755980

>>15755150
According to Plato, who really established the term, Philosophy is simply the love of all knowledge. Not the more vague "love of wisdom" in the common modern translation.
Loving the whole of knowledge is a rare trait. A philosopher is fascinated by all information (note that "information" is different from "everything", because "information" specifies that we don't care about repeated messages)
Notice that no other modern academic subject contains the prefix "philo-" = love. For example, we don't call "physics" as "philophysics" - the subject is nature, not the love of nature
So in philosophy the core of the subject is loving all knowledge, information, ideas, insights.
When you love something, that means you care for every part of it. This is why philosophers are uncomfortable in the material world of lies and fraud, where the concept of knowledge is constantly attacked and abused.
People who love knowledge are hardly tempted by corruption, since it never brings them more of what they love most.
Awarding PhDs to non-philosophers has polluted that system beyond repair, Academia is now filled with comfort-seeking rat-racers who are not passionate lovers of knowledge, and there is hardly a point to being educated by such people, whose primary focus is on generating and sustaining their salary

I'm not sure which insight to present to you, we would need some context on what you would find interesting.
For example, a profound insight about the material world, which is what most people care about, is that central banks are private organizations that were granted the legal right to mint currency in countries like the US, and that we've had 5000% inflation since the Fed was created in 1913, and that the Fed is nothing other than a naked pyramid scheme for private profit.
You can't find these statements in textbook economics. Instead you find a shell game of layered explanations about the minting process, that dances around and obfuscates the core issue: who works for money, and who fabricates it for free? Who receives the payments on the principal of the US national debt, who eventually receives it in their private bank account?
And so a philosopher can easily ask an economist such penetrating fundamental questions about their own domain, and puzzle them, as the economist has never gotten to the bottom of those questions themselves, they are put off the trail by rhetorical nonsense and fear of the absurd, and so the philosophers are the ones who end up burrowing a path to a poorly understood truth like this.

That's fair, in fact I think you can reasonably argue that performing the scientific process on things like that is effectively if not actually impossible. Running experiments on humans is often effectively impossible due to ethical reasons, and doing the experiments on large enough groups of people to get statistically meaningful results is practically impossible. Good nutrition science on humans is impossible because you can't just lock people up and control their diet. Even if you try to do it with prisoners, you run into ethical violations that prevent you from actually performing the experiments.

None of this refutes the fundamental effectiveness of the scientific process. We are limited by our practical, ethical, and legal ability to scientifically study some matters but that doesn't mean the process itself is somehow flawed.

The monkeys don't know how the vending machine works and the stories they invent about the vending machine are bogus. But the monkeys nevertheless learn how to get the desired treats out of the machine. They learn what combination of buttons get a treat to come out, without any real understanding of the underlying truth.

This also is the best that physicists can do. Instead of combinations of buttons, they produce equations. The real test of those equations is to compare their predictions to observations: >>15756433 That is the scientific method. It doesn't produce correct stories about why the equations work, the "interpretations" of the equations are as false as the monkey stories about how the vending machine works. But that doesn't matter, the point is that the equations and button combinations produce results which are useful to society. The stories about why those things work are superferlous. Monkey society doesn't reward the vending machine specialists for their cute stories, they reward them for testable results. So it is with scientists as well.

No the midwittery is pretending that not asking the question of philosophy solves the questions posed by philosophy. It's fine to not ask the question and begin your inquiry in medias res, the great advance of the Enlighenment was to forgo trying to philosophise systematically from first principles and to rather approach problems discretely and advance piece by piece: you can better understand the study of the parts by not losing them in a study of the whole. The great stride in scientific advances begins when natural philosophers stop trying to be system builders like Descartes and start to approach the problems in scientific fields discretely as individual problems and more or less ignore the systems or premsies the field relies on, see Cassirer for the history of it.

The problem is mistaking the benefits of that strategy of discrete study of particular fields with actually answering the questions of the whole. Assuming the premises that ground your field does not prove the premises, and establishing them remains a valid question outside the remit of the particular fields that rely on those premises to establish their field.

They can't.

The old answers to the questions of the whole has been vested with too much cultural significance. The old guards that won the day from the Abrahamics through fire and blood have been carved into every highschool science book and generations associate them as the gospel truth. Any attempt at heretical deviation is implicitly seen as "anti-science" by the plebeian masses. Politically entire disciplines of livelihoods depends on the legitimacy of the old answers, as well as the career of actual politicans.

The temptation of the priest robe proved too much, its riches too rewarding, ever as it has been.
Through out the generations, too many whose predecessors who had their humble beginnings in the scientific method forgot their root and in moments of weakness decide to don the robe. Moment after moment, speech after speech, book after book, and field after field. The bureaucratic monstrosity that stands today do not and can not tolerate paradigm shift. Externally it demands solidarity in placating the masses and internally it demands results without interpretation. New answers must never contradict the old, only adding to it. New initiates are not permitted think for themselves until they have earned the right, after thorough indoctrination.

The point of this post, just to clarify for those that don't get it (most of this board): fitting data might tell you what are the rules, i.e. what sequence of buttons to push to get the treat. Once you know that, you can say your "theory" predicts accurately the operation of the vending machine. Notice though how the theory doesn't tell you anything about the inner workings of the machine, you're merely fitting data. Yes, you will consistently get treats, but what if the internal mechanism are not efficient at all as they are? Like some gear that gets stuck because of friction, requiring you to push the same button multiple times? Your theory won't tell you anything about it, so you won't be able to improve the machine at all, for example by requiring a single push of the button instead of a sequence. This is the essential problem in modern physics: QM is a black box that spews out numbers, just like the spewing out of treats from the sequence of buttons. There's no deeper understanding of the workings of nature, and physicist will tell you "that's ok, we can still build quantum computers out if it!" disregarding the fact that there might be a way more efficient way to build one if we only dug deeper.

For one, recognize that conceptually the probabilistic interpretations suck, that QFT is plagued by infinities and that renormalization is not a legitimate physical thing, and that particles are not infinitesimal point-like excitations of waves of probabilities. After you're done with that you can go further back to GR, and recognize that the speed of light is not constant at all in the theory; that the original vision of Einstein was that of space as a transparent medium, a single unified field unlike the multiple particle fields of quantum mechanics.

By that logic I guess the 1900s must be the ideal scientific utopia since Einstein and other greats are alive there. I mean that's as good as scientific progress will ever get right?
Technology devoided of ethics is a one way ticket to cyberpunk, thats not fearmongering that's an absolute certainty.
Ethics devoid of technology means I might lead a meager life, but at least I don't have to worry about getting raped as you so aptly put it.
