Considering that everything is meaningless, isn't science just mental masturbation? I mean, if meaning doesn't exist, how could you truly be accomplishing anything?
Considering that everything is meaningless, isn't science just mental masturbation? I mean, if meaning doesn't exist...
Applications of human knowledge about reality that allows us to make tools and processes that increase our pleasure during life and improves the quality of life physically and mentally.
Quality of life is a spook
>quality of life
Immaterial made-up bullshit.
Philosophy major alert.
Considering morality is subjective, aren't laws and policies just pointless autocracy? I mean, if the right thing to do can't be well defined, how could we truly be keeping society on the right track?
Could you imagine paying money to learn how to spout this useless drivel?
Or worse, being such a twat, you're taking other people's money to do it?
Things that are important to you, are in fact, important. There is no other way of measuring it.
hmmm.....
>Considering that everything is meaningless, isn't science just mental masturbation?
and yet you masturbate daily...
That's the meaning of life user: Shut up and masturbate.
Since quality of life is made-up, why don't you play in traffic?
Sounds more like a Rick and Morty fan desu.
>if meaning doesn't exist
1. Define "meaning"
2. Explain how you determine whether it does or does not exist.
>1. Define "meaning"
an underlying reason or purpose
>2. Explain how you determine whether it does or does not exist.
It's completely subjective, so I guess that depends on your definition of existence.
Yes it is except to those whole purpose in life is science
Can't. The fact that people PAY for this crap is unbelievable. Why have all governments cut funding for this crap? The issue is it is based entirely on feelings like literature but 100 times worse.
What if science discovers a meaning for things and that doing things helps a great deal for that?
>What if science discovers a meaning for things
literally inconceivable
I think what we're trying to accomplish is freedom from death. Science is essentially a war on the universe.
>shut up and calculate
I wish more scientists would stop and think about why they're doing what they're doing. This attitude is the reason philosophy is necessary. Because although scientists say "I can do it myself, I don't need you" they then proceed to dismiss it in the same breath.
how would you know? you aren't a scientist or close to them and you're not familiar with how they work, faggot
you're just an edgy freshman imagining what science must be like
>synonyms
Use them in a sentence so I can answer your OP post.
This. They call it a Doctor of Philosophy for a reason.
Humans are programmed to mold matter(invent things) mindlessly, so science is really natural human behavior user.
Besides what else is there to do than learn how your reality works?
You don't know who I am.
>you're just an edgy freshman imagining what science must be like
Wew
>paying money to learn how to spout this useless drivel?
What useless drivel are you referring to? OP isn't a philosopher, he's just asking a vague philosophical question.
>Considering that everything is meaningless, isn't [shitposting] just mental masturbation? I mean, if meaning doesn't exist, how could you truly be accomplishing anything?
really makes you think...
Actually, nothing whatsoever is meaningless.
