This is… nonsense…

  It's a proper scientific paper with a DOI and thirteen citations.

    And also an excellent example of how properly done science publishing can still be nonsense.

    So was the research on vaccines causing autism. It was still nonesense, as peer review is not a perfect method of quality assurance and even scientist are subject to biases and to trying to get their beliefs justified.

  It's philosophy. The most bullshit field ever where people use big words and speculate about things at a very very high level. More progress has been done answering the question of "what is cognition" by Machine Learning programmers then has ever been done by a philosopher.

    Philosophy is not bs, but there is a lot of bs philosophy and this paper is a great example of it.

      That doesn’t make any sense. If philosophy contains bs it makes it so the whole field can be labeled as bs. I understand there’s stuff like logic and the philosophy of science that make sense. But when there’s shit like animism it becomes a huge category error. why not just not make something like logic a part of philosophy? Just pull it out. The umbrella of philosophy is like the category of analysis of everything in existence. It covers too much. It’s like anything that’s deep reflection automatically becomes philosophy. It’s too broad and that’s why it gets stupid when you have the philosophy of mathematics living side by side with the philosophy of art.
