Science

Science has become a sword, an archaic weapon that is no longer practical for battle in the complex world of today. what passes for science is more applied engineering, with a passion for profit in terms of either wealth or power. preconceived solutions based on predjudiced data can be passed off as fact, because there is no frame of reference of truth to provide context. our purpose need be truth, for its own sake.

science and math are tools to define reality. but today, mutually accommodate facts allow the two sides of any argument to talk past each other. there is no definition of the opposition position. the terms are not defined specifically enough that we can even be assured that we are speaking the same language.

the yeomans work will be in the data collection. we can no longer trust facts that have no specific support data behind them. everybody must start referencing support data and defining the conditions of the collection event to be taken as truth. hard science can not be a tool of soft science - reality is what it is. it is imcumbent on each individual to keep the world spinning in their own sphere. our world is based on natural law, we ignore it at our own peril.
