Listen "Episode 77 - Karl Popper’s “restrictions” to thinking/ reasoning and why they are so powerful"

Episode Synopsis

I am discussing the list of "constraints" that Popper applies to critical and rational thinking:

No confirmation or verification of a theory is possible

No induction without error correction allowed

No credences for theories, that's useless

No absolute sources of knowledge exist

No foundations of knowledge exist

No certainty possible

No recognition of truth is possible

No forecasts possible

No safe/ general claims allowed

No explanation less content allowed

No direct observation possible
