As Organichu knows, antarctic exploration is my favorite metaphor.
Y'all philosophizers are a bunch of stiff upper lip Brits trying to trudge your horses to the south pole. You will freeze to death on your way. 50 years later, my people will fly in with a B52 and land it on your corpses.
Only you'd never have figured out how to build B52s without philosophers.
Wait, metaphor...mixing...aw fuck it
The point is that, contrary to popular belief, philosophy is fundamental to all science.
was
not that it isn't still useful
I mean, it still is. Philosophy of mind and neuroscience are inextricably linked at this stage.
What neuroscience are you studying? Also, as a tangent, John Searle is a shitheel and a moron.

We have very different opinions of neuroscience. :P
From where I'm standing, the philosophy looks like math looks like science and they're almost fundamentally inseparable parts of what will form any explanation of how consciousness, memory, the whole damn shebang, functions.
Saying you will have neuroscience without philosophy of mind is like saying you will have biology without physics; you will never come to a satisfactory description.

Neuroscience describes the philosophy of the mind but philosophy of the mind does not describe neuroscience. Also, we are a long way from linking biological functions to consciousness. We can barely link biofunctions to cognitive reductions of consciousness at this point.

So mass effect 3 ending. I am going on a serious fucking rant here. DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
JUST FOR ONCE, FOR MOTHERFUCKING ONCE
CAN MY SCIENCE FUCKING FICTION NOT GO ALL ARM CHAIR FUCKING PHILOSOPHY BULLSHIT
WHY CAN'T I JUST BE THE HERO
WHY CAN'T I JUST BE THE FUCKING HERO, GET THE GIRL, SAVE MY CREW, AND WE ALL FLY AROUND THE GALAXY REBUILDING HUMANITY
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT SHIT? AND PONY? PONY BRO. YOU DON'T KNOW ME MAN IF YOU SAID I'D BE OK WITH THAT ENDING
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT.
I JUST WANTED TO SAVE THE DAY AND YOU FUCKING GIVE ME A SOPHIE'S CHOICE? REALLY? FUCKING REALLY? WHERE WAS THE "SHEPARD WINS. REAPERS DEAD. AND HE FUCKS ASHLEY.
ME3 has guns and explosions therefor Not Art. Braid has shitty ambiguous prose and looks kind of like a painting, therefore Art.
Beep boop I can only define art in various platitudes such as tragedy, ambiguity, and aesthetic pleasantness. Happy endings? Heh, fucking unwashed plebs
philosophy reacted rather badly to general relativity and there has always seemed to be some unbridged gulf since
tell that to ted sider
there have been philosophers who have directly tackled modern physics (I would not have named a metaphysicist as representative, but there have been some regardless)
It's more... the period coincided with Western philosophy entering an era where subfields of philosophy fan out and discuss their own thing, with (in particular) more reluctance to try to compete with the natural sciences on the nature of whatever. More compartmentalization and less engagement with other fields, even other fields of philosophy, and where engagement does occur, it dies with the author.
Wait wait, weren't you sucking them off a while ago or were you just being surly towards irrationally principled nerds?
I was sucking off the brilliance of the entire game up until the ending I guess? I mean that's what's so infuriating. The game is so good. The characters are so fucking good and just
just I can't even talking about it. Yes. The nerds are irrational for demanding a refund. They're irrational for Day 1 DLC and all of that petty shit.
But no. No I get it. I didn't even want to finish ME3 but chu basically said nut up last night and he as right.

You misheard. It's Being On Time.
its forte is misconstruing basic real world tenets
But how will we solve the unasked question of Greek metaphysics without Heidegger?!?
What neuroscience are you studying? Also, as a tangent, John Searle is a shitheel and a moron.
Imma hang onto that thread.
And wait.
One day, most of those quotes will come back to bite the posters in the ass..
I'm sure if I was old and needed a cane and Depends, I'd find him hot now.
But for now, I am moist and young. I need a young Joe.
2 kids tried to bother me on the subway
i was drunk and i ignored them
so they bothered the hasidic jew guy next to me
one of them reached out with his foot and kicked my foot and i started at him and rolled my eyes angrily
by kids i mean like 13 year olds or something
and they were black and i was racist at them in my head

From behind, equally shitty light:

that's a lot of assumptions about a couple of black kids being dicks
racist
