    What a weird fucking question to ask.

    wait until you figured out how we discovered science

    or better yet, if you’re more of a normie, who figured out you can drink cow milk first.

      “How we discovered science” this is such a stupid statement. Nonsensical.

      It was a woman. Who figured out we could drink other animal milks first, by watching a calf drink it. She probably needed it for a human baby. A lot of stuff that doesn’t make sense to men makes sense to women.

      And it is a weird and boring question in the OP. He wants to rape a girl for money. Gee, that’s never been asked before. What a deep philospher.

        that seems plausible. I would imagine this happened on pretty early in human history, but it would have to be late enough that we had somewhat domesticated animals.

        it’s certainly weird, but so are a lot of questions, and it’s boring, but then again, when are questions ever exciting lol.

        As for philosophy, the single most intriguing question that has ever been asked is quite literally “what is the meaning of life”

        You got way too hung on their example. The point was science is tinkering and following weird curiosities but with extra steps. Virtually every major innovation in the last century (for most of civilisation I would argue) has been a result of indirect tinkering, or benefitted from a completely unrelated field.

          You were in such a rush to defend their point, you missed mine. Which is that pseudoscience and pseudointellectualism look exactly like this - made up bullshit based in nothing. I’m not “too hung up” on their examples - that’s exactly how I’m showing their nonsense. Get some intellectual hygiene. Question things. Demand proof and exactitudes. THAT is the basis of real critical thought and scientific reasoning.

          Sure, curiosity can lead to scientific advancements. Or it can lead to conspiracies. It depends on what it’s being based on.

          Advancements are made in the cognitive mortar between the bricks of knowledge we have. If those bricks aren’t made of anything substantial, the mortar won’t save it either. Gotta have a basis in something solid. That’s why we take measurements and data.

        yeah, i do a bit of lolcowing on lemmy from time to time, same as i did on reddit.

        It’s fun. Would recommend people stop caring about the shit they read/write on the internet, its mostly bullshit anyway.

          I don’t look to create unnecessary consternation but for an outcast community this place sure can be super hostile to ‘against the grain’ opinions. I don’t want adulation but an explanation to go with the downvote parade would be nice sometimes.

          Not even talking about political or ethical subjects, take OP above you as an example.

            it’s typical for online communities such as this, it’s worse in some places, better in others, depends on the community and the instance. And how much of a pain in the ass you are.
