philosophy and U

People who have barely finished high school should not be allowed to discuss topic like sentience. In fact they shouldn't be allowed to discuss anything. Philosophy, like masturbation, is fine as long as you do it in private, but you may not do it in public unless you're at a rock concert.

Science without philosophy is Science. It does not need or use philosophy, and if you're trying to fill what Science can't explain with philosophy, religion went that way.
