Philosophically, science is not about the truth, but about ever-better approximations to the truth. This is why scientific theories, no matter how well attested, are always open to revisions—the next decimal may hold surprises.
I wonder where Hobbes went to college for such a well-rounded, Liberal Arts education? LSU perhaps??? ;-)
(P.S.: For those of you who don’t know, LSU is Louisiana State University, located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana (in the U.S.). While they’re more famously known as the “Fighting Tigers”, they’re also called the “Bayou Bengals” as well.)

Philosophy is easy when you already know what you are. Tigers are killing machines. Who like smooches.

Artistic expression of running down prey and eating it? Will have to work on that while shopping for dinner.
