I see what you mean how often philosophers can't back up their claims with facts like scientists can. But, this is because things like proof and
facts belong solely to the realm of science. However, philosophical concepts can be potential facts, and potentially provable. People use philosophy
to find an appropriate way to live their life. As such, the philosophical wisdom that they share are often things that they have learned along the
way that work for their ideal life.
