Well, of course we can't have just one math. There is theoretical math, applied math, mathematical realism, mathematical anti-realism, Platonism, mathematicism, logicism, formalism, conventionalism, constructivism, finitism, structuralism, Aristotelian realism, psychologism, empiricism... I am not boring you am I?We like it so much here we never have just one
I had to look up "empiricism". Found that rather interesting. Certainly explains why there's so many different opinions in the Martial Arts world.

Turned in my official papers today. As of Jan 1st, I'm retired from Police Work. I'll be starting my new career Jan 7th. Ugh I've never had a real job before lol

That is an interesting thought... You know, I've never thought of martial arts as something analogous to mathematics... But you are right. I am actually quite terrible at mathematics, but I think it's a good idea - comprehending the difference of opinions in martial arts by looking at all the different schools of thought in mathematics.

We changed our contract this year to front-load military time so I'm rolling out sooner then I thought I could.
I can buy back 2 years with another agency and add to my time but I don't think I will...its pretty expensive to buy it back.
Good on you. That sounds like tough work.
Congratulations!!! An exciting new chapter
Well, you are doing it right, but getting another job though, otherwise you'd never have a restful minute.
Your new job doesn't sound like rainbows and butterflies though!
I am tipping my cap to you! Not everybody can deal with that subject matter.

Yeah, I'm too young to be retired too old to keep chasing around 18 year olds.
Thankfully I'm not going to be doing any casework I'm just going to be training Police officers mostly. Sadly I've worked a few child sex trafficking cases over the last few years so my first-hand knowledge helped me get the job.
