>this would be the more accurate account of what empiricism signifies

>Empiricism rejects the idea that humans are born with innate knowledge or pre-existing concepts.
A sea turtle is born...why do they all go to the water?
>Knowledge is acquired through sensory data (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch) and can be confirmed or denied through empirical evidence and observation.
Honor, truth, love, betrayal, where are these?
>It stands in contrast to rationalism, which holds that reason is the source of knowledge.
Perspectives about the observed "object" dictates it's "rationality", reason from what values? An egg is something to love for a bird but but eat for a snake, is it knowledge that an egg is food to a bird?

Measurment Theory is what he is doing, not "Science". Confusing thr facts with the meaning, Richard Dawkins does this, he calls measurements "truth" not realizing its merely a "fact". What he is measuring for, for where to where, and expecting as results, is just tape measuring...not saying what shape it is. He measured for what he was looking for/could see, not what occured.
I used to think I was aware of the true natures of people and the world...
