"Science" is just the scientific method, no more, no less, it's a fantastic thing don't get me wrong, but its just that.
Can't tell you why you should get up in the morning.
Can't tell you the "meaning of life".
I am wondering why you think life needs a meaning. I don't think it has one.
Quote:I think what a lot of people tire of are people who say they live their life by science. That it's their philosophy - as if by saying this they are automatically more intelligent and rational than the next man. What that translates to, for me, is "I subscribe to a form of logical positivism because I actually have no idea what philosophy is or how it works, and don't have a very imaginative mind."
Much like many religious people really.
That is because you don't understand science. I can tell by your words.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
