I'm not really familiar with what you're referring to, but also, science is a philosophy. It's a method of finding truth.

Like this, but just to the right of the mathematician is the philosopher.
Perfection.
I like this one
The nihilists should probably be represented by Black Hat...
This was one of the (smaller) things that put me off the idea of getting my Masters in biology. It was a very real thing in the college of science at my university.
Though it was slightly different at the top for us. Mathematicians, astrophysicists, other theoretical physicists, and experimental physicists where all top of the college, but then they sub-layered themselves in that order. In the bio department Microbiologists were the top rank. But in our case it was because the Micro department held a couple patents that brought in big money.
Its all about money at the end of the day. For instance, the uni I attended is shutting down its entomology programme while continuing to pump large amounts of money into cell bio.
My university really liked to tout its Carnegie 1 classification to bring in donor money, then instead of using that money to fund the research needed to maintain it they'd use it to pay off debts for athletics.
lol no
I would put philosophy in leftmost
I would loop it with math going to philosophy going to sociology (with a bunch of things in between).
Science is just rebranded natural philosophy
Cars are just rebranded horseless carriages.
Sofas are just rebranded comfy benches
I am a rebranded sloth.
I am a meat popsicle.
Really just likes of sand. Or possibly rocks or logs.
I think it's likely a reference to this video.
