I am considering getting in a philosophy graduate program. I
am listening to a cute black woman singing. I am worried with my dog.



Philosophy and Science have been walking side by side for a
long time, since the beginning of everything that we tried to interpret as
knowledge. During the history, we split the two in different domains.
Currently, science has been much bigger and appreciated, but it has the support
and base of philosophy. I think that both Science and Philosophy need to have a
reciprocal conversation to conduct an interesting work. Philosophy is very
important in a sense that it gives perspective - the chance to think beyond the
empirical and evaluate the theoretical. There are schools of thinking
influencing all the great science that has been made. It is important to the
scientists to realize their inclinations and bias, some key concepts that
influence their work and future prospects. 



Philosophers are known to think out of the box. To bring new
interpretations or define trends. Evaluating thinking and challenging
positions. Philosophy carries the most mysterious questions that are not in the
domain of science. But, still, it may be very objective, not abounding on
flawed opinions. Or talkative endless self-expression. In the world of the ideas,
there are arguments and logic, searching for light.



But in reality, in general, scientists do not care much
about philosophy. They do their work, and it is ok. Scientists usually do not
read philosophy journals, while philosophers read science (of course, they
discuss science). It is not my field (at least not yet), but philosophy seems
to be a much smaller community. It'd need to have a broad expansion, with
vigorous journals dedicated to exciting ideas. A broad community may read them.
Scientific, general, and philosophical. I think it is a bit underappreciated.



And the band that I was listening: it is called Phox. I was
watching them in the NPR tiny desk concert. It is nice. I will leave the link
here if you want to take a look. 



My dog developed some kind of neurosis. She is super active,
and for now she would not leave her house for nothing, except to eat and go to
the bathroom. She is defending her house, sometimes aggressively, and staying
only there for more than 3 days now. She thinks someone will steal her place. I
hope she will be back to normal soon.
