I call B.S. on Philosopy. It’s just opinion. You may enjoy it, it may sometimes cause you to think, but at its heart, it is worthless drivel. A lot of it is religious or “spiritual”, which may make believers happy, but is of no value to the rest of us.

If you can explain something with your opinion, it’s a theory. Back that theory up with evidence and experimentation, and that’s science. If you do neither, it’s philosophy and its only possible value is if it spurs someone less lazy to do the work to investigate its truth.

The dictionary says philosophy is about “fundamental truths”. Truths come from science, not philosophy.

Prove me wrong.
