The Empirical Manifesto

The length did not escape me. Last night it got so long, I considered splitting them into two different posts, over two days. But I felt the flow would have been lost. I thought about using an lj-cut for each section, but thought that might make reading it more disjointed. Ultimately, I decided on bold heading, to at least in part, break-up the topics in hopes it would come across less like a dissertation and aid the flow of reading. I left a lot of little stories out, as it was not my intent to be overly biased - I simply wanted to express my own viewpoint as to what I went through and how it affected me.
