"a little bit of poetry does a lot to loosen things a little up"

[@AudioPervert1]

Merrily anarchistic, he encourages common people like you and me, to trust instinct, observation and imagination, like Galileo and Copernicus did, instead of being shoved down by existing taboos and cannons, because Feyerabend observed that eventually at a personal level, outside institutional thought and routine, ‘anything goes’ - as valid human behavior and at times ‘better’ than rational routine. Feyerabend was great in this aspect!

❤ Thank you.

Brilliant. "Anything goes" refers to trying, not succeeding. Try and see if it works, how far it works, what are its limitations, etc. All science does is create provisional models for the purpose of prediction and control; as soon as a model better at prediction and control is created, the old models are set aside or used in simple cases if more convenient while still achieving the desired result, i.e., sending a man to the moon, no need for General Relativity or Quantum Mechanics, Newtonian Mechanics will do the job just fine. Quantum Mechanics, General Relativity, Thermodynamics, Electromagnetism, Newtonian Mechanics, all use different concepts and procedures and rules, assumptions, axioms. As do the various fields of biology. As do forestry, agriculture, water management, etc., etc., etc. We never get to a final, exclusive, complete "truth". An ongoing process. An ongoing adventure. Feyerabend did much to free science from the restrictions of abstract formulas that hinder progress. And make us better human beings. RIP Paul. A Liberator. There is an entertaining interview on KZbin of Feyerabend in Rome, it's in German and I don't know if there are English subtitles.

[@argyllthomson6429]

Wow Paul

[@johnmanno2052]

I sincerely wonder what Neil Degrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, and MANY KZbinrs (like dear, dear Sabine Hossenfelder) would say to Feyerabend if they were all locked in a room with him.

Any chance the cameraman could zoom in a bit closer!!!
