Philosophy requires sound propositions, and those propositions require observation to be declared sound. If you disagree, you don't love (and can't do) philosopy...lol. Without observations from which to form propositions, you'd just be making shit up to bicker about. If the quality of the propositions are strictly, uniformly, and directly proportionate to the quality of the observations from which they are drawn....so too, logically, is the quality of the subsequent philosophy. Logic is nothing -other- than a way of settling things by reference to observation, and the system itself is built out of observations regarding the relationships between proposition, condition, inference, and conclusion.
(that quip about how , if the universe were like the quantum world, reality wouldn't work..is a complete non-sequitur, and seemingly false of the face of it by reference to the fact that reality, well....works.....while simultaneously being the same thing as the quantum world?)

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!
