But just as some people need to pursue physics as far as they
   can take it, others need to pursue philosophy as far as they can
   take it. There's some overlap, sure. But not much. They also
   educate each other: Heidegger for example has informed modern
   cognitive science. The hammer *does* become a part of the person
   as they use it. === Well consider this: If Bill Nye, as a
   Science advocate, is seeking to dissuade people from Philosophy
   and into Science, wouldn't he want to leave the misanthropes
   where they are and keep them _away_ from Scientific fields?
   tongue emoticon == I personally never "took" to Philosophy. I
   was and am always a Science guy. I started looking into it about
   2 years ago, mostly as an attempt to understand the "online
   Philosopher" mindset because it was always rather foreign to me.
   I guess from a psychology POV / personality profiling type
   thing. But I did gain a respect for it in the process. I think a
   Philosophy of Science needs to continue right alongside the
   practicing of the Sciences alongside the funding of the Sciences
   along with the relationship to Engineering, Marketing, Industry,
   Education, etc. == He's a talking head now. He's beyond getting
   further educated 'cause he's got opinions: LOTS AND LOTS of
   opinions. I keep waiting for him to run for public office
   somewhere on a Science-yay ticket. He could get it. I could see
   him as mayor of a little Oregon village somewhere. ==
