    Well there is an entire field of philosophy called the “philosophy of science” which tries to determine the ideal way we should conduct science so it’s an iterative process. Issue with philosophy (and science but more complicated) is that they are simply ideas but many take them as gospel.

      Almost like you need to take different empirical observations from varied tools and perspectives to get more reliable predictions about the wider body. Enough robustness gives you confident weightings that can be used to grow more empirical evidence to build new cognitive tools. No map is the territory, so robustness and weighting need to be an active process in changing growing areas of understanding. no new tools are possible without philosophy actively constructing along science using wider Bayesian basins than some single scientific data point. those varied but well-weighted Bayesian networks are not “just philosophy” like joe rogan giving a very shallow, non-robust, greentext level take on something that sounded mildly plausible.

    Fake: science isn’t based on science. Isn’t even real.

    Gay: science comes from philosophy. Philosophy comes from the ancient greeks…
