"对我们大多数人来说，经验似乎会得出结论，但经验主义发誓永远不会得出结论。"
— George Santayana
Simplified Meaning:
People often think that going through different experiences will help them make decisions or form conclusions. For example, if you keep touching a hot stove and burning your hand, you might conclude that touching a stove when it’s on is always a bad idea. However, empiricism—the idea of learning through observation and experiments—avoids jumping to conclusions based on just a few experiences. It insists on careful and repeated testing before deciding something is true. In daily life, this means not assuming something will always happen a certain way just because it happened once or twice. Instead, you should gather more evidence and look deeper before making up your mind. This careful approach can help you avoid mistakes and make better decisions.
