>>11841200>And philosophy itself is the most basic human search for meaning, the idea of god that is imprinted upon the minds and souls of all creatures.>>11841206>one of the many delightful conclusions that can be reached using languageAnd it's useful for misleading ones. "The idea of god that is imprinted upon the minds and souls of all creatures" can imply a belief in a monotheistic or even polytheistic or deistic god, but, I think the idea that's "imprinted" is generalizable to meta-cognition and self-awareness.
I posit that a high percentage of sufficiently self-aware beings of any form will ponder their own existence and the nature of reality. "Being imprinted with an idea of god" can be interpreted as a loose way of saying the same thing, but it's also a bit of a motte-and-bailey.
I think a more unambiguous way of expressing it while retaining the same delightful aspect is to say that all sapient creatures naturally tend to ponder what it is to be, and so all domains arguably descend from that root. You could also similarly just say "data science is a field of metaphysics", because nothing isn't metaphysics.
