Error-correction is the beginning of infinity.” > — [[David Deutsch]] #quote > "The self is the collective term for the creative institutions of consent among the multiple strands of creativity and criticism that constitute a mind." > — [[David Deutsch]] #quote > "The real source of our theories is conjecture, and the real source of our knowledge is conjecture alternating with criticism. We create theories by rearranging, combining, altering and adding to existing ideas with the intention of improving upon them. The role of experiment and observation is to choose between existing theories, not to be the source of new ones." > — [[David Deutsch]] #quote # Bibliography - --- # References - --- # References -
