1) I don't talk about "philosophy". It's a bunch of mental wanking which serves only the purpose of making you theists feel better about your beliefs.
2) Medicine is not the only place to search for knowledge.
-- Botanics. Someone has to feed you fucks.
-- Animal husbandry. The same.
-- Planetary science: wtf is happening on this planet and others, as this one will eventually die out and we'll have to move to another
-- Space science: because that's where the other planets are
-- Environmental science: how do we have a cleaner planet to live on in the mean time?
-- non-life-saving medicine: how do we have a better quality of life period?
-- psychology/psychiatry/neuro-biology: understanding the human brain, if only to understand why people do stupid shit like... oh, I don't know... murder people and eat them, or fly planes into buildings.
My head hurts already.
