Today somebody on Twitter informed me that we no longer need Platonic metaphysics because of “science”. That’d be humorous if the broad sentiment that “science” has replaced metaphysics (and ethics and theology and the kitchen sink) weren’t so distressingly common.
Anyway, it reminded me of this scene in Nacho Libre where Esqueleto tells Nacho he was never baptized because he believes in “science”.
Nacho responded by showing that the sentiment is all wet.
