I'm not really familiar with what you're referring to, but also, science is a philosophy. It's a method of finding truth.

Like this, but just to the right of the mathematician is the philosopher.

I would put philosophy in leftmost

I would loop it with math going to philosophy going to sociology (with a bunch of things in between).

Cars are just rebranded horseless carriages.

Really just likes of sand. Or possibly rocks or logs.

I think it's likely a reference to this video.

As a philosophy grad, I appreciate this =) But philosophy gained a heap from Science too (probably more than v..v.) , so it's all good. It strikes me as natural that Science will time to time have to engage in Philosophy when it considers its assumptions.
