/lit/ - Literature

let me guess, /sci/ is a bunch of british cunts giving high fives to each others asses over Dawkins, Hitchins, Pinker and Harris totally SLAYING religious people with scientific FACT

philosophy is an overlap of the two.

>>14307382
How about you click the link at the top of your page instead of guessing what /sci/ is?

>>14307391
He guessed correctly tho

>>14307382

>>14307367
does this mean that philosophy is like autofellation

>>14307382
/sci/ is mostly engineering and CS undergrads who think reddit scientism is philosophy, so yeah pretty much

>>14307367
Science hasn't made any serious improvements since the 70s.

>>14307394
No. Point to any thread on /sci/ right now like that. I looked and there are none.

>>14307464
Go and ask them if science is compatible with belief in god and watch the fedoras come out of the woodwork.

>>14307382
>>14307394
>t. never been to sci
you niggardly NEETs wish you were half as smart as the retards and schizos on sci

>>14307408
>what is LIGO
>what are gravitational waves
>what is the higgs boson
>what is fucking anything it doesnt matter i get all my science news from youtube
kys

>>14307407
Go back to /pol/, nobody cares about your war on matter and science.

>>14307408
Most of algebraic topology work has come out of the 1980s and 1990s.

>>14307367
there's literally nothing stopping you from eating both pills at the same time

>>14307367
the only thing gayer than book nerds are science nerds.

>>14307367
/sci/ is basically a subreddit filled with people who don't know shit but pretend to be smart.

>>14307382
/sci/ is /pol/ with numbers

>>14307534
>NOOOOO YOU HAVE TO PICK ONE LIKE KIRITSUGU VERSUS KIREI

>>14307482
Pretty much this.

WHY do brainlets think science replaces religion and/or philosophy? WHY?

It is a TOOL. It does not tell you what to do, it merely presents facts. It does not and cannot tell you how or why you should live your life.

People who exclusively concern with philosophy over science only do so because they're too low iq to grasp math and advanced logic.

>>14307531
Mathematics is not science.

>>14307545
(Metaphysical) Materialists are retarded.

>>14307684
are you kidding? have you ever seen a logician try and tackle a piece of continental philosophy? their head literally turns purple

>>14307382
Nah
it's mostly just shitposts that are tangentially related to science
basically the same thing as /lit/ except instead of tacking "books for this feel" at the end of their bait thread, they'll ask for studies.

>>14307545
so it's just like /lit/ then

>>14307684
Philosophy uses plenty of logic though.

>>14307684
go do some equations then you fucking nigger

>>14307685
Math is the only science.

>>14307718
Science employs math, but math has nothing to do with science.

>>14307367
Can't we all just get along?

>>14307718
Like most brainlets, you use some vague definition of the word "science". More or less anything that has to do with reason and evidence is "science" to these reddit-like pseud brainlets.

Look up the actual definition of science. Math is not science.
It would be more accurate to describe it as a language, or a transcript.

isnt zizek the 3rd pill?

>>14307708
Philosophers deal in the baseless abstract because they lack the aptitude to grapple with rigorous objectivity and complex mechanics.
>>14307714
Philistine level.
>>14307717
Lol seethe.

>Philosophers deal in the baseless abstract because they lack the aptitude to grapple with rigorous objectivity and complex mechanics.

come back to me when you can tell me that in an equation

wait i just went to /sci/ for the first time and it's way smarter than /lit/

im never coming back here

>>14307771
>analysis of human emotion, culture, and spirit are baseless abstractions
spoken like the primordial bugman you are

>>14307718
No
Not at all
I think pretty much everyone agrees that science specifically refers to that which arises from empirical observation and the scientific method.
It's unfortunate that a lot of modern epistemology was originally written in German, I think that's at the root of a lot of these misunderstandings about the use of the word.
>>14307771
start with the greeks

>>14307367
What would have happened if Neo took both pills?

>>14307718
Cringe and redditpilled. Technically any knowledge can be “science” however in modern terms science refers to fields of study that involve the collecting and relating empirical observations of natural phenomena. Mathematics is more akin to a system of signs for an axiomatic framework of logic, we do not observe numbers, we do not collect empirical data on them, it isn’t a science.

>>14307741
Math is the only meaningful thing. The nature of its physical manifestation is as arbitrary and peripheral as how we choose to present software on a computer monitor (literally a peripheral).

>>14307801

It's a simulation, the pills aren't real (there is no spoon), the choice matters. I suppose if he'd tried Morpheus would've raised an eyebrow, pulled out two new pills and said: 'That's not how it works.'

You can post a thread on /sci/ and get actual interesting, on-topic contributions.

When you post a thread on /lit/ all you'll get are shitposts and memes, and eventually the thread devolves into a slapfight over mainstream philosophy, because this board is a god damned joke.

You're not too far off.
Read Kant.

I can describe a hell of a lot more of the mechanics that drive your modern daily life than you can of mine.

>>14307806
I'm not talking about the nomenclature.

>>14307792
Here's an idea, anon: Why not visit /sci/ when you want to discuss Science & Math, and /lit/ when you want to discuss Literature? That way you don't have to worry about which board is smarter.

>>14308034
everyone knows science and literature are approaches to truth, not fucking hobbies

>>14307674
What is a fact, jobeywhett?

>>14307963
That's swell provided we never get low on energy resources or pollute ourselves to extinction. But descriptions of motion between objects don't seem to rise to the level of Truth anymore than narrative.

>>14307482

I am not arguing about the significance of math, I am arguing that it isn't science

>>14307408
extremely good bait, congrats on catching a few /sci/entards

This. Finally someone smart here, I'm crying

And Philosophy has only gone downhill since Aristotle.
