Sorry, just saw this. The Open Society and its Enemies is the big winner for Popper imo.
Short answer: it’s impossible.
Medium answer: the attempt itself is counterproductive and misunderstands how we use language.
Long answer: aside from being impossible, the impulse is related to Platonic essentialism, which is the philosophical spawning ground of authoritarianism and has stifled honest inquiry for circa 2k years.
