Everyday empiricism for everyone
Notion:
You can always find something.
Notes:
If it's not one thing, it's another
We have been promised that if we seek, we will find; but if we go out looking, we are bound to find something — anything, even if it's not exactly what we initially sought.
The empiricist is not satisfied with just finding something, the empiricist wants to find the ``right" thing. The trick then for the empiricist is threefold: (1) to know what to look for, (2) to know where to look, and (3) to be able to tell when the ``thing" has been found.
Successfully finding what is sought is one of the empiricist's most challenging and satisfying jobs. (We will spend more time on this subject in later essays.)
