I'm really not sure if "scientific" is an appropriate label for your work or not.

Could the "all categories" page on PhilPapers count? Because that's basically my answer.

I thought scientific proofs turn hypotheses into theories. And do tautologies offer anything meaningful?

His definition seems a little vague because it potentially applies to an inexplicably special anything. An anthropologist would likely emphasize some ...

If "nothing matters" is both liberating and depressing then surely it's a question of perspective.

May I ask, what's your view of mathematics? Do you think it has adequate descriptive power? When you talk about the possibility of interlevel relation...

Highly speculative but deliciously quotable.

Work is why systems exist. But this scenario is necessarily communist, as stipulated.

It just occurred to me the reasoning behind this topic is virtually identical to moral realism.

Where's the "nes" option?

With the above criticism in mind I'd like to commend you for having the courage to systematize your thoughts. Everyone has a personal ontology and mak...

I wonder what happens if all references to "creator" are substituted with "knowledge"?

Yeah, norms change which is why surveys may be repeated. Ideally maybe like once a year. Until then I'm afraid the concept of "morality" is likely to ...

Of course. Science is about discovering what is the case, not what should be the case. Obviously it's not perfect. But it's at least empirical. To my ...

Interesting topic. I notice the issue of practicality has been raised. I wonder how people feel about a hypothetical global human survey which somehow...

This seems tautologous because it can't be falsified so I suspect it may be a proof without meaning.

In my view the so-called "theory of everything" is slightly hyperbolic. I think the interdisciplinary problem you've identified is a major one. I unde...

I avoid ethics while recognizing ethics exist. Hope that's not a problem.

It's fairer to say this is an issue about individual people doing science, not scientists as a species. There are already a number of ethical codes in...

I don't know. But I can offer a psychological perspective. I maintain a lot of things boil down to personality, but that area of research is currently...

Hi, thanks for the post. Do you have any thoughts on the notion of different types of logic?

Sorry for the interruption but how do you know what other people don't know?

If you're okay with a semi-serious answer, I'd venture our collective human ignorance will always present the appearance of genuine choice, which I'm ...

I can't help but feel that quote is in desperate need of context..

Hi. Excuse me if this is somewhat obvious but it may be worth remembering "science" isn’t a single entity to be analyzed using identical systems follo...
