Sorry...all the red logos and swirling effigies constantly twirling around, really detracts from listening to the speaker and watching how/what they are saying ~ good luck lol
In the human economy Philosophy (love or wisdom/ideas) might go in the head, and Science (cutting/splitting to pieces, the 'sci' root) might, like the word digestion, go in the abdominal cavity, the belly department. You can't reason with the belly, it just wants what it wants. Contrariwise, you can't become too positive about thinking because it always looks for a reason to turn you around to look the other way, and the belly has no interest for that. Science and Philosophy are two ends of a vehicle and the Soul (you) sits in the drivers seat of the heart. Science can't be taken seriously, and thoughts never go anywhere but around in circles. Science and Philosophy are either both relevant or both irrelevant (in a scientific age), to the Soul, you.
I've always appreciated Plato's analogy of the soul and the passions to a charioteer with two horses at war with each other- which parallels the native allegory of the two wolves of the soul. It is up to us to harmonize and train the two horses as a charioteer and up to us to choose which of the two wolves we wish to feed. True science should not be limited to deductive splitting and reductionism but still be tied to the flexible spirit of love which guides creative leaps. Poe's Eureka (1849) is a nice testament to that concept
Not many scientists today are putting the pieces back together (after the split) with a motive of universal harmony and love; there's no profit in it. It's contendable that 'love, art and joyful synthesis' have been removed from science since the splitting of the atom in Cambridge by Rutherford in 1926. That's when science went too far. Both horses (power) have become wolves (appetites) intent on eating up even themselves. The soul (solo spirit) and the passions (sufferings) are being devoured by wolves in our current period.
