Heat is not a perception though. We know about energy transfer, the movement of atoms, the chemical reaction of burning something, etc.
There's alot of redundancy in it, that expresses berkeleys idea that things like heat are ideas..and that his idea of what something is, is positively naive. The definition of light was my favorite. His definition..anyway, as a natural blah blah blah that allows us to see.
I mean, could be photons but what do we know..and maybe the lights really do turn on and off when we leave or enter a room. No possible way to test that.
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!
