Final Fantasy 7, 9, and 10 are good classics. 7 and 9 are my absolute favorites. 10 was groundbreaking at the time for its graphics and voice acting. FF12 is good but also very grindy.

For more modern stuff: 15 is very beautiful but the story is garbage. FF13, 13-2, 13-3 are hot garbage.

If you want to check out other JRPGs that are modern, try Persona 5, Nier Automata, FF7 Remake. I think the OG FF7 is much, much better story wise though. A lot of things got lost in the remake. Character personalities changed, dialogue became much more “anime-y”, it was more raw and human in the original. The remake’s combat system is more fun though.

bruh this is a rare occasion to see someone mention this. This used to happen to me all the time when I was little and people didn't understand what it was.

Yea one of the most famous sad boi philosophers was famously a piece of shit irl. There's a story about him pushing a lady down a flight of stairs.

Here are some examples on Philosophy of Science tangentially related to biases and world view:

1. Richard Rudner argues that it is impossible to separate science from human/personal biases because scientists are human. Their biases impact their entire point of view. https://www.jstor.org/stable/185617
2. Thomas Kuhn talks about how science evolves and how the things that we, as a society, consider facts change and evolve. Famous phrase: Paradigm Shift. https://www.lri.fr/~mbl/Stanford/CS477/papers/Kuhn-SSR-2ndEd.pdf
3. Paul Feyerabend speaks on Scientism, which is "the belief that science has the answer to all meaningful questions" (source). I can't find a PDF online but the book is, "The Tyranny of Science".I want to add that despite the connotation that philosophy is fighting against science when discussing scientism, it only focuses on the OVER-reliance of science. Not simply just the use of science as being bad.

There are excellent philosophy of science intro books that are relatively short and jump around to introduce cool ideas and explain how science has evolved.

Here is one: Philosophy of Science: A Very Short Introduction by Samir Okashhttps://philpapers.org/rec/OKAPOS

Science used to be called 'Natural Philosophy'. It was born from Philosophy. It is very thorough in its processes, similar to science, but mainly deals with conceptual/abstract issues. I would argue that Philosophy is a vital part of any academic category as it helps expand perspective and still maintains a high bar of accuracy to be taken seriously.
