Symbolic logic can help us build airplanes and bridges.

It cannot help us explain art, politics, and the nature of existence.

The world is a lot less computable than you seem to believe.

But honestly I think you're just being silly and stubborn while arguing with strangers on a website.

Neither can philosophy. How you missed this obvious reply is beyond me. You need to learn the difference between describe and explain.
