”Instead of being scientific or philosophic, he gives interesting examples such that people immediately get it.”
How is being scientific or philosophic exclusive from giving interesting examples that people immediately get?
I’d say being able to speak in a way that your audience gets is an inherent part of philosophy.
Being scientific isn’t being complicated, it’s basing what you say on a foundation of evidence.
Being philosophical isn’t being abstract, it’s basing what you say in reason.
If you’re neither of those things, you’re seldom worth listening to.
