So, is a persons claim that they are a religious philosopher, the inevitable beginning of losing/rationalising away, their [own] religion? — universeness

Against the common view that philosophy is a two-thousand-year-old failing enterprise, a body of thought that has produced no knowledge, couldn’t we say that philosophy has in fact done pretty well in bringing dominant beliefs into question, revealing their incoherence or baselessness, or just submitting them to rational enquiry? — Jamal

Btw, philosophizing began for me in encounters with (raw) stupidity of other teens and adults, then authority figures and institutions, finally profound failures and missed opportunities I'd discovered throughout the histories I'd studied. Recognizing stupidity as endemic to the human condition was my initial existential crisis (i.e. despair) at 16/17 from which, over four decades later, I've still not recovered. — 180 Proof

Reality is a donut-hole, or nothing out of something. — Thus Spoke 180 Proof

However how then is there an "opposite to science". — Benj96

For me its not "science or .." but rather "science and..." 

For me the term "pseudoscience" is a fancy way of disregarding/dismissing or making inferior or supposedly obsolete all other pursuits outside the realm of science, philosophy ofc being one of them.

How would it make you feel? — Benj96

Ideals exist for a reason.

Realism[Reals] also exists for a reason.

How do approach them?

How do you think we ought navigate such a dynamic?

Where does ethics fall into this? — Benj96

Is it [ethics] pseudoscience? I

Do you have evidence that the butterfly retains no knowledge of its time as a caterpillar? — universeness

Is there a name for the doctrine which claims that all religions are epistemically/veridically disjunct from each other? — Hallucinogen

1. Any exemplar, reliable scientific studies you know of that claim this as fact? — universeness

I’m angry at stupidity because it leads to ignorance and ignorance leads to evil. — invicta

There are those" seems to be covertly pointing at yours truly.
— Gnomon

Indeed.

Nowhere have I accused you of new ageism, nor of "science bashing"

The most I have "accused" (your word) you of is not being able to either follow or present a clear argument.

Despite the faux footnotes. — Banno

The mind is its own place and in it self can make a Heav’n of Hell, a Hell of Heav’n. — John Milton, Paradise Lost

Cooperation being a stepping stone to a goal (wellbeing or flourishing), not the goal itself. — Tom Storm

... how the idea that morality is about solving cooperative problems can actually help in addressing the moral case for supporting or denying support to the Ukrainians against the Russians. — neomac

Your ideal of well-informed, rational people with shared goals and ideas is nowhere to be found. — Fooloso4
