Surely a meaningful and true statement that most Popperians would accept. Popper’s demarcation criterion, correctly understood, may not ultimately be undermined by the fact that it is not itself a scientific theory that can be corroborated according to its own lights, but it’s perfectly meaningful to point out this feature of it.
- namaria 3y agoGödel and Turing already showed that logical systems need to be bootstrapped by axioms they cannot encompass. This is trivial, not insightful.
- foldr 3y agoThat's not exactly what the incompleteness theorem entails. I pointed out that the statement is not 'meaningless'. You now argue that it's trivial. That entails that it at least means something, so I don't think we disagree in a relevant way.
