It is because my intellect is more formal than verbal

I don't even know why science is considered a good source of knowledge everything about it is flawed.
It uses Heuristics (Occam's razor)
Have a problem of Induction (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_induction))
And you can't trust your senses

If the answer is, "multiple answers", I'm afraid you don't have an "answer" but rather "options" that in the end explain nothing usefull.

I don't know why humans seek knowledge, their brain are faulty, their perception can be decieved even by themselves and their own limitations impose strict limits to what can and can't be studied requiring huge efforts being wasted to reach the most simple conclusions.

But if there is no conflict, how can people claim they're superior to the other side?

>> No.8317185

Because philosophy is just theories and ideas,while science is an Application.

Real scientists do both

Honestly it's very easy to come to that conclusion with the state of Western philosophy as it is right now. Lots of meaningless debates that go in circles and never make any progress.

If people knew more about Eastern and Islamic philosophies they might have a better sense of what questions to ask. Math and science can also help by giving questions a rigorous interpretation. If you combine them with "philosophy" in the right way you can get amazing results, like Einstein did with relativity. This is philosophy in the sense of asking very down-to-earth questions about things and striving to put them on a rigorous footing so that you can give them definite answers.
