You don't have to spend 10 hours a week in a classroom to question society and values. Philosophy is intuitive to any intelligent person. The techniques in problem solving and analysis learned in physics can easily be applied to other subjects, even different value spheres. So why devote myself to understanding in one dimension when I can learn literally multidimensional analysis on a quantitative level, and apply to everything (with necessary abstractions)?

>> No.1809054

>>1809029

because it isn't abstract enough, it doesn't question its own premises.

in order to test theories you have to accept a gigantic framework which isn't even true, and will never be true..

Assuming you're the person I replied to you made the claim that physics doesn't question it's own premises, the abandonment of a 300 year old framework (Newtonian Mechanics) shows that you're talking out of your ass.

While philosophy may have been the start to the sciences, it's more philosophical thinking then the actual study of philosophy itself that resulted in their creation. Modern day philosophy is shit compared to what it spawned.

If you need to be taught how to think philosophically you're already behind anyone taking a science major, they have that ability already and are applying it.

What you end up with at the end is that you're able to think just as abstractly as somebody with a science degree, except you know nothing of the physical reality that is.

Also, if you don't think quantum mechanics has a profound influence on the deepest of philosophical questions, such as what existence itself is, then you're a deluded fool with too much self-importance.

Actually atoms only have color under certain situations.

The light an atom reflects and the color it produces is not the same color an actual cat will reflect. Color depends on many variables, including physiology and psychology, even linguistics.

Hmm, interesting, where did I ever claim they transfer 1:1? I said that it proved that reality didn't need to be consistent with our logic, not that it automatically applied across all boundaries. Get reading comprehension and don't instantly assume something is what you want it to be, oh wait, you're basically theologians so that's your job.

Now I will come closer to saying the above however. Quantum mechanics is completely consistent regardless of the scale at which you apply it, it's self-limiting in that the larger the system you're absorbing, the theory itself shows that the effects become harder to detect. It's really not bounded by any scale, if you properly apply it, it correctly tells you the properties at that size. Now of course this means that you don't see any of the strangeness that happens at our scale, they are automatically reduced until they reach what we observe.

Obviously anytime someone uses reductionist methods they have to be careful when considering things outside of that method, but physicists are good at doing this, apparently philosophers are not. You can't consider the properties of a single atom and then assume its the property of a collection of atoms, you have to consider how each atom interferes with its fellows, when you do that, the picture becomes exactly what we observe at any level.

>> No.1809365

>>1809305
Except "Wet" (liquidity) is a property of the freedom the atoms have to move.

I'm not sure why philosophyfags are raging that "Scientists think quantum events apply to large scale". It right in the fucking name QUANTUM, latin for very small. When you've got a whole bunch of atoms all the random quantum behaviour averages out to the point of being almost irrelevant. Its the same reason psychology (individual human behaviour) is not the same thing as sociology (group human behaviour).

Science provides a strong base for deriving empirical data while, however, devoid of axiomatic implications (laws) suited for consistency it cannot be understood traditionally as "true" or "false" in a broader sense. In consequence, many of the facts we have today will be devoid of context in the future because of the very nature of the falsifiability present within the system itself.

Philosophical progresses is often made with axiomatic insights similar to the ones made in pure mathematics. More often than not "things simple do not disappear" within the subtext of the field but rather they are refined.

Science can often change fast, with the discovery of a binding insight. Philosophical progress is often made slow, through technical awareness similar to linguistics.

except that even if you believe that, we could form a theory that is true but we dont actually know it,

the "sheep in the field arguement" about knowledge is an example of that, (p.s. i said im talking about the truth part not the knowledge part)

except that although maybe not for us with our current life span, technology etc, it would still be possible hypotheticly to reproduce evolution, this means it is still a falsafiable claim, where if you look at things like god etc that is an unfalsafiable claim. and when it comes down to genetics, if you did manage to see proof of macro evolution in a fruit fly it would imply that it happens to all other species too under the right conditions, if we witnessed macro evolution over multiple species of varying complexity, it would be borderline proof,

(But I would assume that if we found macro evolution in humans people would assume it happens to everything)

Doesn't understand what a theory or evolution are.

Saying science is better than philosophy or vice versa will never really get much done other than give people with money less of a reason to fund either (not that philosophy needs much funding per say).

I wish more people with philosophy degrees had one in science as well...but for the most part undergraduate education doesn't stress the real importance and viability of science. I consider it intellectual suicide to presume otherwise...because science is not going away soon and people are just looking for reasons to cut anything else that doesn't promote visible progress.

Knowledge in itself is irrelevant to the real world.
We're given a set of scientific laws that we perceive as truth. They are defined by us and are fit to please us. Now, they're most likely correct. Because everything's working out and there's been a lot of proof. But I still remain philosophical about it. But on the other hand, I try not to think about knowledge in such a way, especially since I study physics and psychology.

Science only has theories, inductive guesses, nothing is true. Everything will change eventually.

No point to study something that'll be different in a few years from now.

Says who? The universe is the universe at any level, and all levels are important. Apparently philosophers are extremely anthropocentric to think that questions are only important if they're at the same level we exist at. When you ask a question like, "what does it mean to exist?" quantum mechanics changes the way you can look at it at the smallest levels, due to wavefunctions and multiple paths, granted its only for very small things, but it still says some startling things about the nature of reality. You just like to create strawmen.

And by the way, I WAS the one who you think said something I didn't, you just enjoy reading meanings into things that aren't there, like all great theologians.
>>1810945

>Ppl dont learn science because it reveals truths about the world, they study science because it gets them jobs.

Feynmann, Einstein, Hawking, etc. would all like a word with you. I study science because it teaches me the way that nature really is. You study philosophy because you can't reconcile your thoughts with reality. The simple fact that we have a philosophyfag using creationist arguments shows why pure philosophy is shit tier.

Go get your philosophy degree and maybe someday you can think a thought as profound and worthless as, "I can imagine a perfect being, one requirement of perfection is existence, therefore god exists." I am tired of philosophers who don't realize they're studying something to learn how to do what scientists were born being able to do.
