Looking back on it, I was probably drawn to Deutschian epistemology to solve this problem of how to learn in my own life. I agree with the points in the video, but over the years I started to think that "just conjectures and refutations" is doing a lot of work in that explanation. Sure, for the purpose of figuring out where knowledge comes from it is the same, but there's a lot that goes into how you actually learn effectively that is missed by that statement. A bit like "just particles" is true and useful to a physicist, but not so much in most contexts. I'm still struggling with explaining some of this, there might be a better theory that unifies CR and the modern theory of learning, but there's a whole world of useful tools, techniques and important ideas for explaining and improving at learning that Popperians are not aware of and largely dismiss as a small caveat to their explanation.
Thanks!
Thankyou!
Thanks for your You tube videos, not just educational but also motivational and inspirational, wish more people tuned in to this
