Sci-fi is a little more about theorizing science before it gets there. I feel like philosophy is more like: “Why are we looking for the cat?”
It ascribes meaning to the actions that science makes possible. I can find that cat if I use science. But why do I want the cat and what will I do once I have it?
Philosophy is determining that there is, probably, a cat in the room. And science is using a flashlight to find it.

But sometimes philosophy is also like not knowing that flashlights exist and looking for a cat in the dark, sadly.
