We are software engineers, and we proudly believe that every problem is a nail to our hammer, all meaningful knowledge is but a slight variation of the computer science concepts we've already mastered.
- lo_zamoyski 3y agoThis is what happens with the obliteration of true philosophy and the rise of intellectual philistinism. The sciences fragment into parochial principalities, and without recourse to genuine metaphysics, they elect some preferred field to take its place, making a metaphysics out of its method. In the physical sciences, physics is elected to that position. Mind you, neither physics as a science, nor any of the sciences as such, necessitate this, but scientists, like anybody else, cannot function without an arche or orienting first principles, and in our culture, materialistic metaphysics is insinuated into the background intuition.
