Controversial opinion:
Every single scientist working on theoretical questions IS doing philosophy of science.
I've never met a scientist whose actual research or theorizing was influenced by philosophy of science. The philosophers are just shouting into the void.

Considering how philosophers are allowed to write on literally anything, I am surprised to see how (proportionally) few decide to write about non-human animals.

Many qualified people think that Martin Heidegger, for example, was the most breathtakingly original and important philosopher of the past century. Other qualified people think that he was an obscurantist Nazi windbag.

I love the fact that scientists are becoming interested in philosophy of science, but calling meta science an emerging discipline is kinda ignoring the work philosophers of science have done for the past 80 years.
The Metascience Meeting
September 5-8, 2019
Stanford University
Come be part of catalyzing this emerging research discipline. An amazing group of speakers and special guests from every area of research with a shared interest in the science of science.

Just had an insane idea:
1. get a PhD in philosophy of science
2. then a PhD in economics (game theory)
3. then a PhD in theoretical biology (social evolution research)
Please stop me. 😂

Hot take: Non-utilitarians are scary. They sacrifice the interests, values, and wellbeing of all sentient beings for the sake of whatever they declare to 'really matter'.
