Sort of halfway related
I've been wanting to thank my father for teaching me REAL SCIENCE through parables and jokes and discussion. If he hadn't cultivated the concepts of CONSTANTS AND VARIABLES and PROPER MEASUREMENT and LEARNING BY EXPERIENCE, I wouldn't be able to resist the onslaught of anti-logic and anti-science viruses in the last 40 years.
He probably wouldn't have been on the pro-science side of this latest battle because he didn't USE the concepts in his own life. He flowed with the liberal tide. Nevertheless, he passed REAL SCIENCE to me like a recessive gene.
This is sort of halfway related to Memorial Day because he had earlier served in the only somewhat necessary war. He got lucky and served in Shanghai, training the useless army of Chiang Kai-shek and indirectly enabling Mao's conquest. Luck doesn't count; like all the other soldiers in WW2 he was WILLING to give his life.
All draftees are worthy of honor. Post-1975 volunteers are NOT worthy of honor because they know what they're doing. They're ruining the world.
