RE: The Four Fruits of Philosophy - Why Philosophy is Still Useful in the Age of Science
I must confess a slight inadequacy in commenting since I am by no means a student of philosophy but I would suggest the disregard and mocking of the subject shown by the scientific elite such as the sorry excuse for a human being you have highlighted in your post fear that critical thinking is getting in the way of science forcing their 'evidence' down the throats of society and fear also that the more the 'public' are able to think critically, the greater the chance that they will in time discover that a lot of what has been sold to us as fact, is in fact 'bollocks'! :)
Science makes many claims, like having sent a man to the moon as you have referenced but when a lot of these claims are looked at critically, the evidence for, such as the evidence for having gone to the moon and back, is seriously lacking.
Great post @rachelsmantra!
A fantastic conclusion also! :)
I am a skeptic of many scientific claims but us going to the moon is not one of them. The evidence is overwhelming that we did so. We can just look at the moon and see the evidence.

I'm not sure if you are being genuine or sarcastic. I am hoping the latter since if it is the former then I would have to say I am disappointed that someone who considers themselves a critical thinker and writes so eloquently on the subject would accept as proof in this instance the evidence you have linked of the accused when trying to determine whether or not the accusation is valid.
Is the fact that we went to the moon something you know or something you think you know? Have you ever opened your critical thinking mind to the possibility that we didn't? I have, which is why I have some evidence of my own that we may not have done what we are told we did. I could provide it to you but I'm sure if you are interested enough you will find it yourself. If you haven't, then perhaps you are not thinking for yourself at all on the subject .
The only sources we have are NASA, a government program. How can you take that seriously?
