Nabeel S. Quereshi on chess and problem-solving:

"there’s a direct correlation between how skilled you are as a chess player, and how much time you spend falsifying your ideas."

and:

"vanishingly few people are meta-rational enough to try really hard to falsify their own ideas. Your brain really wants to find reasons to support what you believe."

Karl Popper: a man whose contribution to science and philosophy of science cannot be understated. Rejecting the #inductivist approach to #science he outlined that the hallmark of a scientific theory isn't it's explanatory power, but it's #falsifiability

Without this critical contribution of thought (critical rationalism), modern science would not be possible. Always scrutinize your science with decisive experiments. One thing cannot explain them all.

It is not bigotry to regard as intolerable those who declare disgust for you (until you submit, becoming as they wish).

It's the same intolerance from #ParadoxOfTolerance meeting crowd dynamics.

This is clear cut until #DiffusionOfResponsibility means Masses feel (individually) powerless to affect Leadership, especially when leadership regard all others as interfering out-groups.

With that, what's action to "support/oppose a #war" mean? (re: #falsifiability)

In terms of finding truth, #traceability is to #News what #falsifiability is to Science. It's not everything, but it is a very informative standard.

I believe that peer-curated repositories for professional news sources will incentivize traceability, and are a good way of fostering trust in professional journalism and effectively fight the spread of #fakeNews.

Unless someone shows me that this is a crappy idea.

#skepticism #psychosocial #falsifiability

#Falsifiability and #objectivity are important to pursue in CS when writing #algorithms. I will try my utmost to seek those out when doing design. Nothing else matters (besides performance metrics, #inclusivity, UI/UX, etc)

Seeing all the articles about NeuraLink made me make this declaration.

An important difference between #science and #religion is that science promotes healthy #skepticism and #falsifiability. In fact, science keeps improving every time an existing theory or law is found to be wrong or incapable of explaining an observation. Science is described as "pursuit of truth" instead of saying it is about the ultimate truth! That's why #ScientificMethod doesn't just start with one point and end with another. Instead, it is an ongoing process: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_Scientific_Method.svg
