The basic idea of humanism is the improvable quality of life; that we can do good things, that there are things worth doing because they're good things to do, and that clear-eyed empiricism can help us figure out how to do them.
La idea bàsica de l'humanisme és millorar la qualitat de vida, que podem fer coses bones, que hi ha coses que val la pena fer perquè hi ha coses bones a fer i l'empirisme intel·ligent pot ajudar-nos a esbrinar com fer-les.
