I don't think that we do that either, but we do deliberately contemplate scientific truths as a key towards improving our lives individually and culturally, with so much frequency and force that they become entrenched in our worldview. I, for example...think about soil hydrology, alot, lol. That's why the empty space in solid mass isn't the mindfuck for me that it is for you.
We could repeat this example over a never-ending stream of personal and professional interests and we'll find the same thing over and over.
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!
