And about philosophy I think every true hacker is a philosopher in its true sense. Hacking is in my opinion a type of philosophy of living. Philosophy can be summed up to being investigation of questions and also analysis of the answers. And every hacker does just that. And even if the questions are not exactly about life, but hacking is philosophy in its own right.

- christopherolah 17y agoI disagree. I'm more inclined to say: philosophy = science - assumptions Also, mathematics came from philosophy... So did Science, actually.
- xiaoma 17y agoI'm not sure I follow you there. Quite a few philosophers are mathematicians-- René Descartes, Bertrand Russel, and Kurt Gödel are a few famous examples. It's also not at all clear the world would have been better off if they'd chosen to be engineers instead.
