No reason justifies disbelief.

So, the real cherry on top of this shit cake you;ve been baking for yourself..is this.

Well, I can verbalize an answer to that question, and you can choose to accept it or discard it. If you want me to prove that drinking hot chocolate is really as I say it is, my best bet is to try and get you to have the same experience, and see if you recognize in your experience the things I was trying to verbalize.

You mean....do science....?

You're going to explain how it feels to hold a cup of hot chocolate, by predicting and checking against someone else's empirical observations?

You've repeatedly claimed for batshit reasons, that you won't even own, that you know science can't answer some question..and then offered, as an answer to that very same question....science.

As I said before, if you want to talk about descriptions of subjective experience as empirical evidence, and include them under the umbrella of the term, "science," then you can do that.  You can include schools of Buddhist meditative insight, then, as a "science of the mind" if you like.

I think the word "science" as we take it today is useful, because it identifies a clear set of methods and principles by which we understand the material universe.  But you can call talking about the experience of drinking hot chocolate science if you like.

Of what practical use is a fundamentally unanswerable question?

If practical use is the determiner of good questions, or of activities worth doing, then we are all going to have to make some lifestyle changes, I think.
