Well, I am sure you are smarter than I and more knowledgeable about these issues and I do admit I know little about some of these things so I try to learn. Maybe you could help me better understand this idea of empiricism. If you are able, I would humbly ask you to tell me if my understanding of empiricism is correct. It is written below:
