> Implying the average scientist even recognizes philosophical problems as meaningful
> Implying they aren't just uncritical technicians of inherited systems when it comes right down to it

naive scientism is pretty widespread among the fedora tippers, but actual scientists are somewhat more likely to have a more nuanced understanding of philosophy of science, but there's lots of variation

>Implying STEMfags can get into philosophy.

Science has been twisted in favor of any number of philosophical and theological predispositions. Especially the "Sciences" that use statistical research methods. Some physicists will gladly tell you that saying the universe sprang forth from a singularity is a lot like saying "god did it," and some biologists think something like plato's logos exists at the end of time as a transcendental attractor to which all of biology evolves toward in the universe's endless groping toward self-comprehension. Some pharmacologists get some funny ideas about the torah after using dmt. It's really all the same shit.

You're a fucking idiot if you think the guys who take calculus for three semesters and learn how to build nth dimensional models can't handle a bunch of pontificating by dead guys who were wrong about almost everything.

Maths people are pretty good at philosophy and are at a great NEET level for it.
People in science fields proper are just frat boys.

I'm sorry a sociology major fucked your girlfriend.

Yes because Kant wasn't also a scientist and isn't loved by physicists

>>7852296
Kant went to school back when everyone learned everything and when it was philosophy's job to talk about everything.

You can't honestly be implying that science majors are Kants in the making.

Scientists think that everything can be reduced to numbers and then simply compared.
For example my friend thinks that one day in the future, we will be able to measure the pain of a murder and compare it to the satisfaction that it causes, and then if its a positive number, its a "bad" thing, and if its a negative number, its a "good" thing.

Science has been post-positivist since the works of Karl Popper.

I highly doubt your friend is a scientist. Just a dumbass. "Scientists" don't ALL think any one thing. see>>7852262

You ended a word with "ism" so you clearly know what you're talking about.

He originally wanted to specialize in the sciences but then turned to philosophy which took up more of his time than he thought.
