I mean if you keep asking why you eventually get to a point where you hit the limits of human knowledge and then have to make do with subjective opinions aka philosophy.
- dgb23 2y agoThat's not how I would characterize philosophy. A lot of things that are very important in the pursuit of knowledge like logic, science or ethics are philosophical concepts and branches. It lays the foundation of what we call "objective".

- chimpanzee 2y agoIf we are going to reduce philosophy to “subjective opinions”, then human knowledge actually includes “subjective opinions”. Being able to form and communicate clear, coherent, logical, consistent “subjective opinions” about the real world, including our internal states, is itself a form of knowledge. It is a skill that is arguably the root of civilization and absolutely the root of science.
