The same can be said of your understanding of philosophy and the ranking of your comments is telling. There is no category error. You are just simulacring one to put science on a higher pedestal because it is evident you have vested interest. If you'd actually analyze why you consider science superior to philosophy, you would be hard pressed not to notice that they are both endeavor of the human intellect that simply happen to use different axioms and validity constraints. It is just as "random", and as you mention in your very last comment, ultimately non falsifiable. How can there be a category error when they share such fundamental characteristics? The only thing that leaks out of your arguments is that you just "don't like" philosophy.

> How can there be a category error when they share such fundamental characteristics? The only thing that leaks out of your arguments is that you just "don't like" philosophy. Because every possible thing you can think of as a statement in the universe is unfalsifiable. Every single religion, to theory, to poem uttered by a little kid. Yet although they share the same flaw, Not all of these things are worth studying nor are they worth placing in the same random category. Only specific things line up with observation consistently according to our best available observations. Religion and ethics are not among these things. Logic and probability is. So why place these two things side by side and call it philosophy? It’s like randomly creating the philosophy of the paint on that wall and studying it as much as science. Both are completely arbitrary choices.
