<div>Okay. But recently I've come to doubt, just for instance, economics-- economics is no science. And the social 'sciences' as they are taught in K-12 are junk, and perhaps in higher Ed as well.</div> <div>I honestly think legitimate grounds exist for not only skepticism but also cynicism & mistrust as well; that is harsh, but there's something to it. Nietzsche wrote, "there are rational reasons for abandoning rationalism". Would have to think about that a long time, but he was on to something.</div> <div><BR>>I also rely on evidence and patterns which mere passing observation <BR>>detects in the natural universe, if there's no reason to expect that <BR>>science could should and would test it. I rely on my eyes to tell me <BR>>whether my shoelace is untied; this fact is rationally knowable to me, <BR>>but it is not part of the publicly acessible knowledge of humankind, as <BR>>it would be if it were a replicable experiment published in a
journal.<BR><BR>>Aside from that, the answer to your question is "Not intentionally."<BR><BR></div><p>
