> I often wonder why some—perhaps all too many—scientists (especially physicists) dismiss Philosophy as being irrelevant and pooh-pooh its ideas. Should this be surprising? What does one learn in Physics that could give one the ideas and methods to identify and escape the Naive Realism that default consciousness/reality is composed of? Is this not a bit like being surprised that philosophers can't do physics? That's one aspect. Another aspect is cognitive training: if you are a member of a community, you are subject to indoctrination of the beliefs of the ideology, and the beliefs of the ideology cannot be understood to be false/flawed without the right knowledge and methods. What we should wonder about imho is why things are like this, because this problem is fundamental, it is always and everywhere.
