Hitting philosophy, religion and science.....
What discussions regarding philosophy, religion and science have to do with the hitting of a ball. Everything and nothing.
Everything with respect to our perception of reality versus someone else's perception of reality.
Nothing if your perception of hitting reality is what you might "think" are "good mechanics" (which in reality is your belief system shaped by your hitting philosophy, hitting religion, and possibly hitting science).
For those who wish to partake of the more esoteric side of www.hitting-mechanics.org forum discussions you might want to check out:
Albert: So I think there are cycles in the history of science: one goes through eras characterized by more conceptually revolutionary sorts of developments, where people find it crucial to scientific progress to surrender themselves wholly to certain kinds of philosophical questions and debates where questions of rhetoric become more important. And there are other eras where that represents a more decadent or counterproductive or less valorized tendency.Horgan: The way I distinguish between science and philosophy is that science addresses questions that can be answered eventually. Somehow, you get consensus. Philosophy addresses all the other questions that can't be answered.
