Metaphysics addresses "why". Like, "why are we doing science anyway?"

Can't answer that with the scientific method.

All truth is truth. I'm proud of your knowledge of source, but not of your rejection of information based on source.

Empiricism, as an epistemological view, argues that knowledge is based on experience and that it is tentative and probabilistic, subject to revision and falsification.

Metaphysics, on the other hand, traditionally explores mind-independent features of the world, including the nature of existence, the features all entities have in common, and their division into categories of being.

It's so hard to believe in anything anymore. I mean, it's like, religion, you really can't take it seriously, because it seems so mythological, it seems so arbitrary...but, on the other hand, science is just pure empiricism, and by virtue of its method, it excludes metaphysics. I guess I wouldn't believe in anything anymore if it weren't for my lucky astrology mood watch. Steve Martin

Everyone dies saban. Are you saying that if everyone doesn't die peacefully in their sleep, and unless no one ever gets bruised or cut or hurt or harmed in any way, it means there is no god?

COVID people, that's why the huge turnout in 2020, nothing else. Especially mail-in ballots.

Hopefully you backed it up.

 

It's been seen in the past that both choices have been made.

 

Because of the pastryarchy.

 

In 1969, he wrote a short story titled “A Boy and His Dog,” which tells the tale of a 15-year-old wasteland scavenger named Vic and his telepathic dog Blood. The story was also adapted into a 1975 film, which Fallout designer Jesse Heinig told The Escapist in 2009 "inspired Fallout on many levels" (including Dogmeat's name, which was taken from a nickname Vic gives Blood in the film).

It also influenced "Love and Monsters" (2020)

And Mad Max.

Oh, and the dog is the same dog that was "Tiger" on "The Brady Bunch"
