What Does Science Really Want: Truth or Useful Models? Before we talk about what science has found, we should know what it is trying to do. The standard definition of science is the methodical study of the natural world via observation and experimentation. That definition seems solid and well-known. But as we look into a lot of fields nowadays, especially those that look at deep time, complex systems, or indirect evidence, the border between observation and interpretation is not as clear. So, as we move into studying cosmology, origins research, artificial intelligence, and certain areas of theoretical physics, primarily rely on models that structure data rather than on experiments that can be replicated in controlled environments. This leads to a more fundamental inquiry: is the principal aim of research to uncover the true nature of reality, or to build models that sufficiently predict and control our observations?

"Being a black woman comes with a very specific set of challenges. Has there ever been an instance when you felt your Black womanhood was threatening to others? If so, describe what happened and how it made you feel."

I explore how the definition of science keeps changing. Traditional views call it the systematic study of the physical world through observation and experiment. Modern work often crosses those borders. We build models that predict well but may not capture the absolute truth. AI generates hypotheses from data. Large simulations replace some experiments. Funding and societal needs guide priorities.

"I'm so bad at this." "I never finish anything." "I'm too much." "I'm not enough." You've been saying the same things about yourself for years. And here's the truth: what you say about yourself, you start to believe. What you believe, you become. Last month I caught myself saying "I'm terrible with money" for the thousandth time. My friend stopped me: "You've been saying that for three years. Is it even still true?" I had no idea. I just... say it. Automatically. Volume 10: The Cave of Echoes takes you where the walls remember everything you've ever said about yourself—the harsh judgments, the old stories, but also the softer, truer voice underneath.

Wake Up & Fight is a relic of the moment you stop swallowing the script & start tearing your truth out of the dark. It's the story of choosing yourself when no one hands you permission, when exile is both the consequence & the reward.

This is a short story; an echo of a poem already shared, where the lines learned how to breathe, linger, and become something fuller.

Mass Deportation of Illegal Aliens is essential for the well-being of the US economy. Yet as pressure comes from the Road to Minneapolis, many Republicans are faltering under the violent protests of the Radical Left and Democrats and the subjective observations of the Radical Left. The pressure is so great that many Republican influencers and political representatives are yielding to the Left's hunt of defunding and disarming the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement is a federal law enforcement agency under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Could the Republicans defund and disarm ICE? Submitting to the will of the Radical Left. Ending President Donald Trump's Presidency

Just a little excerpt inside my soul… From a time of somber solitude, while fighting the ashes settling around me…

• “I dug a hole for me and you” → Symbolizes deep emotional commitment, almost self-destructive love → Willingness to suffer or go down as long as you’re not alone

The rule of threes is famous in survival circles — I’ve written about it before — but now I want to narrow in on what is usually the top priority. You can go three minutes without air, three hours without shelter, three days without water, and three weeks without food. Talking about air would be silly, so this article is about shelter. I’m not going to teach you how to build a shelter in this lesson. Instead, I’m going to talk about what qualifies as a shelter.

Mustache Man The Weimar Republic failed. It was actually a pretty spectacular failure. Their currency became worthless almost overnight, a victim of hyperinflation brought about by the sanctions and reparations from WWI. People were desperate, and Hitler gave them a place to focus their anger — but let’s be clear, without the collapse of the German economy, Hitler would not have been able to make that narrative work. If people are happy, they don’t need someone to blame. He gave them an easy focus for their fear, something that didn’t force them to face reality. Sure, it was a lie — but fascism always starts from a lie.

A poem for those who believe love endures.I vow to you not in grand gestures, but in the silent, eternal truth of a pulse that knows no rhythm alone.

This poem highlights my feelings about what kind of romantic love I wanted. Do I want my romantic love to be like a K-Drama or like the most hyped up Regency Jane Austen style (but with sexualized hype), like Bridgerton? For this poem, I use the K-Drama "Idol - I" and Netflix Regency Romance Series "Bridgerton" as examples to highlight my thoughts and perspectives about how I genuinely feel about romance, positively, and possibly at the same time express my love for both the series.
