	Popper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A popper is a small amount of tobacco packed into a patty shape with a round ball of marijuana rolled on top of it.
		Popper smokers do not tend to smoke the tobacco part and use it as a sort of screen in the popper bottle tube of the smoking apparatus.
		Many unique words are used to describe various parts of smoking "popper or poppers" such as: "Sitch" which is the small amount of tobacco ripped from an end of a cigarette to form the base of a popper.

		And of course Popper is right in claiming that IN GENERAL adding content (in his sense) to a theory reduces the probability of its predictions being correct (in all possible situations), simply because adding more content (in Popper's sense) reduces the set of possible states of affairs in which the theory is true.
		I think Popper was aware of this problem and as far as I recall his answer was based on an analogy between the development of science (or ideas and knowledge in general) and biological evolution.
		Popper's claim about the inverse relation between content (in his sense) and probability (of type (d)) is mathematical and can never be refuted by observation.

	Karl Popper - Malachi Haim Hacohen
		Popper's most famous book, his work of political philosophy, The Open Society and its Enemies (1945), remains hugely influential (George Soros' organization being only one of the clearest manifestations of the application of Popper's ideas).
		Popper's family was originally Jewish, though his parents converted to Lutheranism in 1900, and both anti-Semitism and Zionism would colour much of Popper's thought (as well as affecting his career).
		Popper was rarely a true political activist, but he followed many of the events of the day closely and was present on several historical occasions when various factions and the state clashed.

		According to Popper, prior to inquiry, the probability that all swans are white is zero.
		Popper claims that positive instances can do nothing to confirm a universal statement, which is just bizarre.
		Here, Popper just punts and makes up a different word for 'confirmation' and pretends to mean something different by it, similar to the way that Chomsky says we don't exactly "know" innate Universal Grammar, but we are "cognizant" of it.

		After a few years, however, Popper resigned so as to continue his concert tours on a larger scale.
		According the Grove, "His tone is large and full of sentiment; his execution highly finished, and his style classical." His compositions are remarkable well adapted to the instrument for which they are written and have achieved a well deserved popularity among violoncellists.

		In his lectures Popper often made a big deal out of the distinction between studying an essay - really reading it and trying to understand as sympathetically as possible the author's problem situation before criticizing his or her theses - and the more common activity of skipping and skimming through a work.
		Popper's rather perplexing claim that one cannot really understand a theory without knowing what problem it was designed to solve invites teachers to place scientific results within an historical context, which in some cases might well include social factors.
		Popper's stress on the importance of criticism, in particular his praise for the custom developed amongst the pre-Socratics of students' criticizing the views of their teachers, would mitigate against the rigidity of traditional science education that Kuhn compared to religious indoctrination.

		Sir Karl Popper, who died in 1994, was widely regarded as England's greatest philosopher of science since Bertrand Russell, indeed a philosopher of worldwide eminence.
		I believe that Popper's reputation was based mainly on his persistent but misguided efforts to restate commonsense views in a novel language that is rapidly becoming out of fashion.
		To Popper's credit he was, like Russell, and almost all philosophers, scientists, and ordinary people, a thoroughgoing realist in the sense that he believed the universe, with all its intricate and beautiful mathematical structures, was "out there," independent of our feeble minds.

		Popper was one of the truly great masters of the cello, and is perhaps only second to Pablo Casals in bringing cello technique up to its present embodiment.

		The name of David Popper generally is known only to cellists, all of whom have had to struggle through his book of Etudes.

		Popper was pretty much the Rostropovich of the 19th century, and he wrote these works to show off his own virtuoso talents.

	The Problem of Induction, by Sir Karl Popper
		Popper has argued (I think successfully) that a scientific idea can never be proven true, because because no matter how many observations seem to agree with it, it may still be wrong.
		This will be 'rational' in the most obvious sense of the word known to me: the best tested theory is the one which, in the light of our critical discussion, appears to be the best so far; and I do not know of anything more 'rational' than a well-conducted critical discussion.
		Let us forget momentarily about what theories we 'use' or 'choose' or 'base our practical actions on', and consider only the resulting proposal or decision (to do X; not to do X; to do nothing; or so on).
