I did a research paper this summer on this subreddit and there was a published study that found that 74% of attacks on Reddit came from 1% of source subreddits. I assume that subs like r/Drama are the 1%.
Richard Dawkins reacted to the two-part episode by saying... "I wouldn't have minded so much if only it had been in the service of some serious point, but if there was a serious point in there I couldn't discern it."
What a dolt. They literally state the serious point in the episode itself (that he's blaming religion for human vices which exist outside religion) .
Science is literally basically a sub discipline of philosophy that focuses on the natural world. The very preference that Dawkins shows for empiricism as a means of arriving at truth is itself a philosophy of science.
It's retarded that science has gotten too big for its britches and thinks it can do without philosophy... you literally cannot get away from philosophy and if you try to you clearly don't really understand what your doing and should just stop. Really I think we should go back to calling science natural philosophy to make the connection clearer.
Yeah a lot of philosophy seems like pointless masturbation... that's because literally everything involving the real concrete world had been given to natural philosophy, aka, science. Leaving pure philosophy with a lot of naval gazing questions to consider.
Hell, the most basic science, physics, is going their a simialiar thing right now. Most of the low hanging fruit has been picked, and the rest had been moved over to more specialized disciplines like chemistry, so physicists are ironically engaged in a lot of seemingly pointless, unprovable naval gazing like during theory that have almost no application in the real world.
Philosophy is the intellectual equivalent to mastubating while having your loli waifu pillow cuck you with some pimple faced nerd and having it tell you how much bigger he is than you.

I bet Plato can’t even read English. Idiot.

Imagine being a big proponent of science and rationalism, while also not knowing what the fuck philosophy is.

It's a shame Alfred North Whitehead isn't more popular.
