Thanks for the heads up.

The problem for me is that our traditional culture of spirituality for looking at answers has forged our comprehension of the world in a specific way. But modern science is still in its infancy comparing to our culture, and our past undermined it.

As you well showed in your article, science is not there to find truth, but to make models of what works from what we know at a specific moment. And philosophy needs to evolve to take science into account to match our present time, because every one of us can be--or should be--a philosopher, especially scientists because it is easier for them to integrate science into philosophy.

My solution is to adopt an eliminative materialist perspective, rejecting religion, psychology and traditional philosophy, and building a new type of philosophy based on science: neurophilosophy. We cannot continue to think from weak foundations like religion and traditional philosophy.

Philosophy is dead, long live neurophilosophy :)
