2+ hour, 19+ min ago (591+ words) There is a joke format which I find quite fascinating. Let's call it Philosopher vs Engineer.

Some back and forth between the two ensues, but they fail to cross the inferential gap and solve the misunderstanding. It doesn't have to be literal philosopher and engineer, though. Other versions may include philosopher vs scientist, philosopher vs economist, human vs AI, human vs alien and so on. For instance: But, what fascinates me the most, is that this joke captures my own intellectual journey. You see, I started from a position of a deep empathy to the philosopher. And now I'm much more in league with the engineer. Let's look at one more example. This time of philosophers being bullied by scientists....
