Scientists typically huge fans of Popper

I just don't understand where you are coming from...who is taking whom's credit?

"Technically, it's carbon-oxygen-hydrogen fiber!"

And yes philosophy is to be attributed to be key in the acquisition of modern reasoning, simply and logically because someone had to ask the question before someone could give an answer.

Hi - not talking about "truth values." I'm talking about what is actually true.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you...but Godel is very much a philosopher.

Godel proved that no axiomatic system of mathematics can be both complete (having no unprovable propositions) and consistent (containing no contradictions).

I dont know what you mean by "illogical", then, if you're not using the term to mean "logically invalid." Godel certainly demonstrated that some true propositions are logical contradictions, and that some logically-consistent statements are false, provided that your axiomatic system is sufficiently powerful enough to…

Wow, a philosopher who hasn't heard of Godel's Incompleteness Theorem. Amazing, keep telling me more about how philosophy is the progenitor of all other fields of intellectual endeavor!

Philosophers try to find whether something is actually logical

Off the top of my head I'd say consciousness and philosophy regarding artificial intelligence for recent things.

Saying that "modern reason" wouldn't exist without philosophy is like saying that ducks couldn't fly until Woodhouse wrote "Textbook of Naval Aeronautics." Sure, some philosophers have studied thought and how people (appear to) think and reason. (To basically zero result; now that cognitive neuroscience has turned to…

Flying with kids or infants can be stressful.

Who the hell cares who the publisher is?

I'm with you, but it could just as easily have gone like this:

Bungie Devs: Hey, we've got this great idea; it's a new sci-fi shooter where we'll tell an unfolding story over a series of DLC instead of spending three more years on 60 hours of story out of the box. What the world needs is a gameplay engine into which we…

Your argument seems to be: males can want to fuck AND want to fuck people they're sexually attracted to (which in this study = females restricted to a 10-year age set) AND want to father children, and those can all be separate, complex, organically rooted behaviors because "male biology," but "female biology" is…

Women are performing much of this research; what's your ideologically-driven excuse for ignoring their research? "False consciousness"?

Er, disagree with pretty much everything you've said here.

If we lived in a world in which women orgasmed as often as men, were not disproportionately likely to have experienced sexual trauma and were not judged as harshly for wanting sex, who is to say that male and female sex drives wouldn't be similar, even in aggregate?
