Is it odd to you that many of the topics is out of place in the philosophy and science category?

Knowing this forum, I would say its not odd.

It does become frustrating posting; many people get angry when you come from scientific perspective.

Laymen think that "Philosophy" just means "Anyone's Guess".



Seriously, they do!

This is because in English words are used in this way. In typical conversations people will say, "What's your philosophy on this?", when what they really mean is, "What are your views and thoughts?".

So in laymen terms your 'philosophy' simply means your views and thoughts. No one says that they need to be supported by logic or reason. However you view life is your 'philosophy', whether it's based on reason, superstition, or schizohrenia, doesn't matter. Your views are considered to be your 'philosophy' in laymen's terms.

So the word 'philosophy' has two meanings: The laymen's meaning (just personal views), and the scholar's meaning (a rational school of thought backed up by logic and reason).

Both meanings are acceptable. One is a laymen's view. The other is the scholar's view. That's all.

So from the laymen's point of view any whimiscial thought a person can have qualifies as a 'philosophy'. There's no need to rationalize it.

Good point abra.
