>okay cool, we're just going to keep doing what we're doing. Thanks for that though. We already know that the psychological life is separate from our technical work, but it's great that philosophy has taken the pain to spell out what a child can figure out.

That's definitely true about the social sciences since they aren't real science.
There's lot's of things that can be self consistent and true in mathematics but it doesn't necessarily mean that's how reality functions. Something passes from correctness to truth when an experiment is created to test the correctness of a theory. The standard model is currently being validated and vetted out by the LHC which is an experiment to test multiple theories that have been developed over the past century.
Scientific knowledge is tentative and provisional and a currently accepted theory is just the best explanation among all available alternatives.
