If you want to know how computers work, do electrical engineering. If you want to know how electricity works, do physics. If you want to know how physics works, do mathematics. If you want to know how mathematics works, too bad, best you can do is think about the fact it works in philosophy.

If you want to know how philosophy works, do sociology...

It's kind of like a horseshoe with philosophy and math at the ends.
