The Very Last Scream Of Light

Officially, this is the study of societies and the relationships between individuals within those societies, but the 'science' part of it is misleading - it's a label tacked on a long time ago by people who thought it would lend their pursuits an air of credibility... Instead of calling it science though, we should call it what it is: pattern recognition. That's a far better description of what sociologists, historians, geographers, economists and anthropologists actually do.
