Philosphy has a collection of connections to and between human traits, good and bad. Science has the ability to ratify those linkages.

Yes, surely they support each other. (apart from when they're disproving hypotheses 😉 ).

But we are talking about which is best (for humanity that is)? personally I do not think that all humans will EVER understand all philosophies or have a valid method for comparing philosophies. So for me philosophy is a none starter. Science on the other had is ACE at comparing any two objects theories ideas or complaints It frequently competes with itself.To do so one has only to produce better science and put it in front of a greater number of peers. Sure philosophy started first but has no hope of winning because one cannot measure anything about philosophy. BTW there is no such thing as scientism.
