The Beginning of Infinity
David Deutsch  

Summary

The beginning of infinite knowledge. Dense and technical book. Need to re-visit this

Notes

No man ever steps in the same river twice for it is not the same river and he is not the same man - Herolitus

All observations are theory laden and hence fallible as all our theories are

Scientific revolution was brought on by rebellion of authenticity in regard to knowledge

Good explanations are the key to enlightenment

Real source of theories is conjecture and the real source of knowledge is conjecture alternating with criticism

Humans made the earth habitable through knowledge

Everything that is not forbidden by the laws of nature is achievable given the right knowledge

Problems are inevitable and solvable
