Then staying ahead of the curve is the company philosophy and they are applying science to enforce their philosophy.

The Scientific Method is obviously a type of dialectics method that was developed as a direct extension of The Socratic Method, of course it is philosophical in nature which is why your counterargument is so vague, brief, and uninformative.

I can only express my utmost contempt for the so called philosophers of science. Everything about them is quintessentially cringe. They describe a trivial and well-known process, yet the way they describe it shows how they failed to understand it. With unwarranted arrogance they proclaim to know more than scientists while their writing resembles the ramblings of a 5 year old child who "explains" the world to his father based on his very limited level of knowledge. Except that these philosophers are grown up adults and allegedly educated, so we'd expect more from them than only childish platitudes. Philosophy of science is trivial at best, cringeworthy and outright anti-intellectual at worst. A complete disgrace for the historical tradition of philosophy as a pursuit of deeper knowledge.

And doctoring means synthesizing because it is a type of dialectic where they are synthesizing "truth" from information via a particular method, in the case of a Doctor of Science, it is the Scientific Method.

Niels Bohr:
>I felt ... that philosophers were very odd people who really were lost, because they have not the instinct that it is important to learn something and that we must be prepared really to learn something of very great importance. There are all kinds of people, but I think it would be reasonable to say that no man who is called a philosopher really understands what one means by the complementary description.

Paul Dirac:
>I tried to appreciate it, but I did not get very much success in trying to appreciate philosophy. I feel that philosophy will never lead to important discoveries. It’s just a way of talking about discoveries which have already been made.

Richard Feynman:
>I rapidly learned that philosophy, as far as I was concerned, the philosophers who were respected were really quite poor and rather stupid people — at least, from the modern point of view. It seems to me that there were trivial errors in logic which were obvious. Very poor, it seemed to me.

Steven Weinberg:
>After a few years' infatuation with philosophy as an undergraduate I became disenchanted.
>I know of no one who has participated actively in the advance of physics in the postwar period whose research has been significantly helped by the work of philosophers.

Stephen Hawking:
>Traditionally these are questions for philosophy, but philosophy is dead. Philosophy has not kept up with modern developments in science, particularly physics. Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge.

Says a guy who regularly uses values like 0 which is specifically defined as it own opposite value completely contrary to the logical law of explosion which asserts any system that has an element defined as its own opposite is an explosive system of logic.

Philosophy is just an advancement of religion, but not as evolved as science. Philosophy, like religion, never answers any questions, but at least it doesn't try to with supernatural answers.

>Philosophy, like religion, never answers any questions
Dialectics is the philosophical process specifically about trying to find truth by asking and answering questions, though, and its the concept that lead to the rise of the Scientific Method.

Much more fuzzy subjectivity is involved in the why compared to the how such that there is often no stable coherent answer to whys compared to hows.

It's interesting how intelligent people come to similar conclusions. Philosophy works often read like fiction. The language is always flowery, and needlessly verbose. Often you'll see stupid people trying the same thing when they talk to appear smart.

this, unfortunately. people tend to idealize philosophy. but when you look at the modern practitioners they mostly don’t measure up. they get hung up on the dumbest shit, like: significant figures are wrong because it’s granular to multiples of 10 and sometimes a different number would give a tighter bound. like yes, every highschool student has noticed that why do you think this is publishable retard
