I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

in the sense of being worthless or in the sense of being objective?
"Value" has different meanings
I'm.not sure what an objective value would be.
Science is value-less because its based on objective measurements.
Science is valuable because of what it produces.
Pure Science is also a value, because knowledge is worth pursuing for its own sake
You can disagree with the dictionary, but its merely a semantic argument, one that is valueless because it doesn't touch on the actual meaning ( values assigned ) of the words
Sciencenisnt valueless because it uses objectivity in measurements.
Oh NO?

Science is a process and that process holds value.
Are you agreeing with me or disagreeing with me ? because I already said that.
"Pure Science is also a value, because knowledge is worth pursuing for its own sake"
"Science is also a collective in various fields of study which also hold value to society"
I said that already too ...
"Science is valuable because of what it produces."
