"tiny minority of philosophers who are actually scientists"

Aren't you just re-categorizing to fit what you want.

"I don't like this field, so I'll cherry pick people I do agree with and re-define them to be in a different group that I'm more comfortable with".

Can't I say the same thing.

"Those Biologist aren't really scientist, they are just writing down observations not following the scientific method".(I've heard this argument on HN before).

Philosophers are the original scientist.

Is every philosopher today pushing boundaries and creating something new? No.

Is every scientist today pushing boundaries and creating something new? Also No.
