text: Reason predates “modern science”. Observation and experiment would be considered useless were it not for the idea that something exists outside our minds - philosophy - that we can deduce certain things about it by observation - philosophy - and that the world operates by rules inherent in its nature which makes experiments repeatable and therefore useful - philosophy.
  
  Without philosophy there would be no science and men would believe in magic.
  
  Ditto to your “none of it is true”.
  
  And so we see, once again, that LifeoftheLay called it correctly.
