>>13901687>mathHas absolutely nothing to do with reality. It is a purely virtual science. You can describe and calculate stuff that has no basis in reality.
>physicsCloser to reality than math. Still a very artificial point of view. If you have a "great universal formula" you can make very deep, but effectively meaningless statements. Like Wittgenstein said, our every day realities are not even touched by this. Physics is describing what words are and how pencil / paper work instead of writing a book.
>philosophyPretty much overrated, because of being an umbrella term. You can do history or physics (without notation) and call it philosophy. Philosophy raises good questions but doesn't deliver much answers.
>chemistry We are getting closer. If we look why amino acids are behaving in a certain way, if we understand how blood and chlorophyll are related to each other we start to get valuable insights about life.
>biology / geography Now we're talking. Phenomena that didn't even appear in physics or chemistry suddenly become a thing. Even if biology is mostly describing things without being concerned about the reasons, you already have important topics and best practices. You start to realize some things work better than others and some things don't work at all.
>economy and politics Straight to the point. We focus on patterns in reality, we start to apply multiple paradigms at once and the most important lesson is: there are no simple truths, things often contradict each other.
>psychologyFuck yes. Take the questions from philosophy, take the tools from math and physics, take the biological setting and the patterns from economy and policy - here you find the last truths. It is a difficult and frustrating science. Most answers are complicated and probabilistic, but it is a great approximation of reality. You will find answers to questions like "What is NOW?" or "What is reality?" on a factual, scientific basis with high level math if you dig deep enough.
