By “everything” what do you mean?
(heh,heh)
Philosophy is very useful in determining or exploring the
limits of our languages,communications, and thoughts.
Will it provide to answer to our lives? Time (whatever that is)
will tell(if it could talk).

Life can’t be all like Larry the cable guy, “Git ‘er done”

I saw Neil Tyson De Grasse (curator for the NY Museum of Natural History) give a talk on “What is Science?” at the Butler University campus. After he finished some tweedy professor got up and asked him a “How do we know we exist” question. DeGrasse gave him this weird stare that lasted for 15 seconds and said “Philosophy hasn’t contributed anything to science in 200 years”.
