Well that's funny, since I didn't even used to have these thoughts before. I used to be an "Empiricist", but I have changed my mind. I or anyone else can never predict how my mind will change into the future.
What value do you get out of sinking your time in something that doesn't work out in the end? Unfortunately, I know it too well that this whole thing is methodologically flawed so that it's largely a waste of time. All I can do is spread the idea everywhere that explanations are what matters, and that empiricism and instrumentalism are flawed. It also helps me to understand my own position better by creating arguments.
