@Pepijn Sweep,
I don't know what "truth" means, so I won't reflect on the original statement.

I would use the word "happiness" instead, whose meaning, though equally vague, is nevertheless more vivid.

I do not want to generalise, but it seems to me that philosophy always fails to make a thinking person happy. Every attempt to find satisfaction in philosophical reasoning is in vain.

In science there are moments of happiness, when a question finds its answer. Of course, further questions follow, but one is somehow certain that no question has no answer. This in turn guarantees more happy moments.

The problem is that language suits better to practise science than to articulate one's disability to practise philosophy as a science.

It seems that philosophy does not provide knowledge, because philosophy is unable to formulate questions. Thus philosophy always goes side by side with dissatisfaction and hope for happiness.

There might be people talking nonsense here. But it is only because their language has begun to show them its outer limits. Instinctively they come in hope to overcome the disability to express themselves. In fact, without knowing this, they are here in order to look for ways to come to grips with the burden of language and thus rise above philosophy.

@HexHammer,
Well, the science forum can talk about facts. And there might be some talk of facts here, but we ought talk about what facts are useful for, ie, logic.

And it is as impossible for man to speak something illogical as it is for him to think what cannot be thought. As per another recent thread by Reconstructo, 'the real is the rational (and vice versa).'

As for truth, big T truth, I guess it would be a tautology. And I could never confuse a (scientific) hypothesis for a tautology. And so if one is a truth seeker in earnest, then I can see no reason in following hypotheses.

But let's not dodge the real matter at hand, it's more likely to discover truths in sience fora than philosphy fora ..that should be a truth and a fact.
