Great post. I find it funny that the etymology of the word philosophy is love of knowledge.. Or a love for data? I think all 'energy' is synonymous with information or data. As simple at it seems, their still is no threat of fully understanding life or data. Which has led me to think before, maybe the meaning of life is to live.. Without some philosophies we might not have many theories that do get applied as technology advances. Like how Einstein's general theory of relativity influenced the existence of gps. Maybe inadequate philosophy (or knowledge) inhibits action and vice versa- which would go back to what you said about instincts gathering data to preserve themselves. Just some thoughts. Great post.
