Falsifiability is a stupid criterion

RE: Falsifiability is a stupid criterion
I'm still wondering which unexamined presuppositions that form an integral part of how we conduct ourselves (thought it was science a minute ago, but meh) bother you.

Falsifiability does hint at pragmatism, we do value things pragmatically. Science is itself a massive undertaking in the pragmatic application of thought....."I have this big brain and I'm surrounded by stuff, lets see what I can do with this". It just so happens that the "truth" of things is often very useful. We're playing pretty loose with our words at this point, but I'm guessing that if we didn't you wouldn't have much to disagree with..lol.
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!
