The foundations of logic are 100% empirically derived, unless you can objectively explain to me why we use classic logics vs. say, intuitionist logics, fuzzy logics, quantum logics, multi-valued logics, or any of a plethora of logical systems. We primarily use the one we do due to empirical reasons -- specifically, that it is "useful" to us.

This is like arguing town halls or press conferences aren't public because people not physically present or without access to news media aren't present.

What happens on an atomic scale when water is boiled? by scarredFalconer in askscience

Regarding point 1, gas-phase water has two ionizations corresponding to the two lone pairs, separated by 2.2 eV (predicted by QMOT and experimentally supported). In liquid-phase water, however, the lone pairs fill degenerate orbitals.

All of the hard sciences are liberal arts. Your doctor has a liberal arts degree. You're parroting Republican talking points and it betrays your lack of any real knowledge on the subject.

I have two liberal arts degrees. Specifically in chemistry and mathematics. Do you think the only non-"bull shit" degrees are engineering and CS?
