Natural Order and Science

[Harris]

That means you do not know philosophy.

Your response tells me that you cannot explain the assumptions that you have made.

I'm a professional scientist with the view that 95% of philosophy is pointless and irrelevant mental masturbation. Anyone that truly knows what they are talking about should be able to explain to lay people.

What this tells me is that you do not.

Saying that 95% of philosophy is pointless and irrelevant mental masturbation is equal to saying 95% of science is pointless and irrelevant mental masturbation.

If you have partial and useless knowhow about philosophy that does not make philosophy pointless and irrelevant rather your ignorant assertions that comes out of your indulging behaviour only illustrates the incapacity of your intellectual potentials in making interpretations of the natural world.

Philosophy was the original inquiry into the nature of the world.  (Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, etc.)  It combined what we now call “science” with other aspects of reality, and asked all those questions about the origin of the universe, what it was made of, what it was all for, etc.

Just spare little time on this website which will give you sufficient proof that nearly all famous scientists and mathematicians were basically the well-known philosophers.
