The quantum mechanics interpretations to which I referred are not hypotheses, they're theoretical interpretations and mathematical models that have been devised in order to make sense of the available empirical evidence gathered from observations and experiments, such as the "double slit experiment", for example.You're quite free to disagree, but you'll need more than feelings for that disagreement to have any teeth, won't you? Just how has "sense" been made? That's right, reason was applied.
Quote:I have presented examples (such as in post 130 on page 13), in which I have demonstrated that there are some areas where pure rationalism requires supplementation.I saw no such examples. How would you have demonstrated them anyway? What if I just felt that you didn't - that would be the end of it, wouldn't it, because I feel so? No, no, by your choice of words and argument, and by your willingness to have a conversation about these things I think you also prefer reason. I'm just wondering where else "supplementation" may be required - as it hasn't been required in any of these places you mentioned - and at what point you'll get around to doing any supplementing (or making the case for it-or how you'll go about doing that, without staining the whole bit with reason)
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!
