Philosophy: "Hi."
Me: "..."
(End)
Like oil and water, philosophy and I do not mix, er, rather communicate. I'm not sure I can even think in a philosophical sense. So, when I am blogging, asking questions in class, or mumbling something in classing, I'm merely poking out into the dark. Is this what philosophers do in general? Poke out in the dark until something makes sense to them? Why does there have to be an explanation for everything? I'm going to talk about science for a bit. Just because someone 'proves' something with an equation with science, doesn't make it true. What are numbers and letters? Something humans made up so they could use as a way to count and spell and therefore communicate and further/complex their existence. It scares me that everything I know is just something someone else made up.
But maybe I'm crazy and this makes absolutely no sense to anyone whatsoever.

You're raising some good questions here; they just need some development. For example, it might be instructive to expand on the relations between science, philosophy, and "poking around in the dark."
Well, it seems as though we as scientists and philosophers are always "poking around in the dark". When something is discovered in science it's as if one is brought into some kind of light and I think the same is true for the theorization (I'm not sure if that is word) of philosophy.
