How worthless is Philosophy?

[vulcanlogician]

Science provides pragmatic truth only. 

I wholeheartedly disagree with this. There may be no practical value in establishing how many Eukaryotes existed 500 million years ago. But science can still furnish us with that information.

Because it can only disprove claims, it can't strictly prove causality, nor can it prove that its models correspond to any Platonic reality.

Yup. Science assumes causality. But it can't explain it. To be fair, even philosophy fumbles the ball too.

And "double yup"... science will never prove that any of its models correspond to Plato's ideas. And any effort on science's part to do so would be a complete waste of time. Maybe if you went the math route. Like, math has explanatory power, as Plato thought it did. But that's a bit of a stretch.

--Also nice to see you again, dude. Hope you've been well.--

I remember talking to you some time before... you were saying that QM had a "measurement problem"... as in, QM as a theory couldn't define what a measurement really was. Has any headway been made in that regard since we last spoke? Or do you have any further thoughts on that at least?
