In the past, science and philosophy weren't separated and were largly indistinguishable. However beginning in the 19th century, the rise of the scientific method created a schism in academia. Modern philosophers often not only are ignorant of science but even openly oppose it. I'd like to know why. Why is philosophy dominated nowadays by people who have no interest in, or even contempt for science? Shouldn't philosophy be more productive if it embraced scientific results?
The only notable contemporary exception I can think of is Sam Harris who is both a scientist and a philosopher. And (coincidentally?) he is one of the most intellectual philosophers of our time.

Why do people shit on logical positivism for being self refuting in an upfront way? Why is it better to be a Hegelian or Kantian who postpones the crucial piece of self refutation on page 5107 of a 10,000 page obscurantist philosophical work (out of ten)?
Or nobody shits on Plato or Aristotle for straight up talking absolute shit.
Also I could bring up the Munchhausen trilemma like I do every time but I'm sure you know what I'll say
>>1140065
>expecting everything to be logically provable.
The Munchausen Trilemma assumes epistemology is perfectly rational which is nonsense. Foundationally, most of what we assume is simple habit because we're animals.

Well then fine. If some stuff is unfalsifiable then fine. If someone wants to make their own unfalsifiable house of cards then that's fine.
Now explain why the fuck my statement "Murder is bad because the sky is blue" is bad. Now explain why academic institutions say some unfalsifiable shit is good and others bad. Now explain why there is no philosophical department of the aesthetics of doughnuts.
My answer to the last one. Pseudo intellectual philosophers who have gained zero increased ability to reason from philosophy want to monopolise the big important questions.

Because all that stuff doesn't contribute to our survival

Slovene has somewhere between 7 and 50 dialects (depends on who you ask) but there are a lot of smaller variations (there is a reason we have a saying "Every village has its voice."). The first records of a Slovene dialect come from around the year 1000, from our ealiest recorded text, the Freising manuscript, with the modern dialects mostly emerging after the 16th century; partly because of duchy borders, partly because of natural obstacles (first hills and valleys, later due to a swamp which cut off the Carniolan dialects). There are also several interesting dialects which emerged due to ethnic peculiarities: the Rovte dialects which are a result of German settlement and later assimilation; the White Carniolan dialect, which is a result of Uskok (Serbian) settlement during the times of the Turkish raids, as well as the Kočevje mixed dialect, which is a result of Slovenes from all over the country moving in a region which was depopulated after the Germans were deported after WW2.

Except this film and a lot of liberal pro commie stuff that has been declassified has proven McCarthy was right.
At this point they've gone from "THEY WERE NOT COMMUNISTS STOP MAKING FALSE ACCUSATIONS" to "They were Communists, so what? There's nothing wrong with that."
Reminds me of "BILL CLINTON IS A DEVOTED HUSBAND AND A GOOD CHRISTIAN MAN AND THESE FALSE ACCUSATIONS ARE A RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY" to "lol it was just a blowjob who cares, stop being such a prude."
About a month after Obama leaves office I expect him to say he actually was born in Kenya but he felt the law was discriminatory so it was his duty to disobey it.

Before the christards and jewish apologists rush in to try and claim otherwise, the answer is yes
Now for some popcorn.
It's probably more like humans chimps.
People think that evolution means humans came from chimps.
The reality is that there's a common ancestor.
The monotheistic religions of the Near East probably descended from Canaanite religion.

I'm a bit confused about the Trinity.

Nohing to understand, it's a complete fabrication.

Fedora here
From what I understand, one facet of the Trinity can exist independently of the three, but two cannot exist without the third or it throws it into imbalance
A large part of the Trinity topic is feelings, so semantics are difficult

No, internal politics and the natural flow of culture was. What was 'Russia' was almost fucked by a mongol scouting group, had it not been for the Khan's sudden death that withdrew them from the first of what would've been a series of landslide battles.

Why did the soviet union collapse?
could it have been prevented?
how?
also just a reminder it your going to recourse to some argument about certain political and economic systems being doomed to inevitable failure, you can at least substantiate it with some kind of actual reasoning
