what’s an empirical question? a universal property of human existence?
it’s like saying all human bodies having extension in space is an empirical question.
we could go count every human on earth, and count every human on earth with extension and empirically see if the numbers match.
or use rationality, abstract the universal property and know with 100% certainty that the numbers match.
