Listen "58. The Problem of Induction"
Episode Synopsis
NOTE TO COMMENTERS: This video does not assert that, because the assumptions of science are arbitrary, a person is justified in choosing not to believe scientific theories, or that its predictions are somehow invalid. THAT IS NOT WHAT THIS VIDEO CLAIMS. This video claims that, DESPITE making assumptions which are arbitrary, SCIENCE IS STILL THE BEST METHOD TO DATE FOR ACCESSING TRUTH, BECAUSE IT IS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE SUCCESSFUL AT MAKING ACCURATE PREDICTIONS THAN OTHERS.
