Jonathan Pageau's criticism of Sam in the recent Vancouver debate

Science is metaphysics. I know we often think of science and philosophy to be separate, but science should (and imo does) contain within it the philosophical enterprise. Metaphysics is the discipline of trying to find out the nature of reality. Science is our best method of doing so. I think things get a bit more philosophical and detached from science when we don't know enough, and we have to start getting a bit speculative.

Also, I have no idea what Peterson thinks he means sometimes when uses the word 'metaphysics'. Sometimes he uses the word properly, sometimes he uses it to mean something like 'metaphorical', sometimes to mean something entirely different.
