Im not being anti intellectual. I simply have no patience for frauds masquerading their metaphysics as philosophy.
In the end you can’t argue the point on its merits and are just engaging in sophistry. So we’ll come back to the first: you don’t actually know what the periodic table of the elements is. You should stop pretending you have a point if you can’t make make it.
If you don’t understand the difference between metaphysics and philosophy, its probably best you did neither.
I can’t engage with your point on its merits because it’s not relevant to the argument that I’m making—it’s a complete non-sequitur.
You want me to prove that the periodic table doesn’t predict undiscovered elements? What does that have to do with where people direct their effort and attention?
This is why the tomato fruit/vegetable example is so useful: it’s about what facts are useful to whom. It actually has nothing to do with the periodic table at all, that just happens to be a particularly prickly thorn for stem majors.

Aw, don’t be a sore loser.

You are delusional if you think you “won” anything.
The only thing you did was demonstrate that you are a vapid waste of time. You being in a self sucking circle jerk with yourself isn’t philosophy.
You don’t know what you are talking about when it comes to philosophy of science and are a waste of everyone’s time, including your own.
Christ, my man, do you need a time out? Are you late for a nap or something?
I promise you there’s nothing at stake here; I’m not “dismantling” chemistry. I agree it’s useful, it’s good stuff. Mendeleev did a good job.
you havent ‘done’ anything here other than jerk yourself off.
