is being a black cat

@NichEherVielleicht Philosophy is telling the scientist how to use a 'flashlight' in the first place and this whole setup is metaphysics. Even a theologist would know that.

Science is more like having a laser pointer. Through careful application and repetition, you could technically infer something about the location of the cat. But the cat moves around constantly and doesn't like you being there, and you only have limited time to do it, because the funding for your cat-finding project is about to run out.

I'd say instead of just "using a flashlight", you're "following a plan in which the first step is to get a flashlight." And you're fine if you're wrong and there wasn't a cat there in the first place

This reminds me of the quote by Oscar Wilde: "Religion is like a blind man looking in a black room for a black cat that isn’t there, and finding it."

As a metaphysics guy, my only question is “then what the fuck is yowling and scratching at my legs.”

A $45,000,000,000.00 flashlight that maybe saw a cat like thing. They'll need three more to be certain.

I do love me some high powered flashlights. For close quarters I'd probably use one of my flooders. Maybe my Acebeam E75 with the 519a or my Wurkkos TS22 with the 5000K XHP70.3 HI

Also, I'm not really religious, but I've had some expiriences that make me believe Jesus is real. Exactly what kind of influence he has over our plain of existance isn't exactly clear, but it's probably not much. Be a good person, because it's the right thing to do, don't cause harm to others, treat others the way you would like to be treated

I find this very inaccurate since it implies that both philosophy, metaphysics, theology and science are looking for the same black cat in the same dark room. Furthermore I don't think either of the first three are something to be sniffed at, which I think this meme also does.

Science is your religion by the sound of it.
