Quote:I've never said science doesn't exist. I'm saying it doesn't study what you say it studies, and can't.-The- science, don't do it, don't go full on troll. This, like so many other things before it, you know damned well. You know it exists, you call it non-science. You -repeatedly- call it non science. You're doing it right now. Own it. I;m not sure that you;'re qualified to tell me what science can and can't study. That seems like a grand claim. Meanwhile, it sure as hell looks like we can study it, and it's producing some awfully interesting results what with being pure accident and all.
What's the end game here, though, have you thought this through? If science -cant- study this, if none of what we have is a science of this..what can, what is? Is it knowable? What is known about it? By what means? I don't mind scrapping all of the "non-science", let's start over. From the bottom. We know nothing, the science is wrong (because it can't even study whatever it is we're talking about). The floor is yours.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
