Philosphy literally gave birth to science. Obviously there something more to it. if anything we need something to blance out sciences Obsesion with materialism.
The meme is silly but it starts with philosophy directing the science what to do - look for the fucking black cat using all your capabilities.
Religion is also painted correct: if there's a part of the room that's lighted with the flashlight with no cats there, we don't want to ruin our worldview and still believe in the cat in the remaining part of the room.
Yeah I actually agree with that as a basic underlying concept of what science does, but you have to stop and realize that we have more capabilities than just our ability to sense the physical world around us, hell the irony with science is we actually deal with many meta Concepts while actually performing Science it's just since they are working with science no one really points them out and explains that literal rationality, reason, and thought are actually used to form meta concepts that we use all the time in order to figure things out in junction with our senses. Meta physics are simply Things we can not touch, but they clearpy have an observable effect, for example im forming a number of associations with in my mind forming a mental model of How philosophy and its essence is clearly at the core of science.
Philosophy is the art of figuring out how things work through meta concepts, a science is the art of figuring out how things work from a physical point of view by using ones senses in combination with Meta concepts, Be it simply tiing with with association, creating a mental mode of a Concept, etc.
You cant really compress These concepts into a Meme doesnt really work as a joke, or a critique. personal taste i supose.
I am not trying to. It's a silly meme that doesn't want to reach your understanding of science, metaphysics, and philosophy. I am pointing out that it might be seen as slightly less silly than scientistic meme, that's all
