I have two critical questions regarding the video’s explanation of Karl Popper's ideas that demand deeper exploration: 1. In today's international, regional, and local political arenas, democracy is frequently undermined by electoral fraud, systemic corruption, and the monopolization of power by those who have been elected. This contradiction raises an important question: How does Karl Popper's philosophy confront and explain the shortcomings of democracy in practice? 2. Furthermore, Popper’s dismissal of historical patterns and the idea that history can repeat itself is particularly pertinent in light of the rise of authoritarian regimes that exploit nationalist sentiments and concentrate power. In what ways does Popper's perspective challenge the complacency surrounding these historical cycles? Engaging to the questions for me is important for the understanding further Karl Popper's idea
An open socierty lead by mediocre leaders have no future, just by looking at the world nowdays we can understand a lot. Popper is a great thinker, but too idealistic for the complexity we live in.
A brilliant thinker, much needed in a world where authoritarianism is on the rose on both the Left and the Right.
