I admit to loving Smolin's work for it's relative audacity. I want to
live in a milieu of fecund universii but acknowledge Smolin's criticism
*of* the related anthropic principle in that it doesn't meet Popper's
Falsifiability and Falsificationism.
Is it any coincidence that this leads me right around to another of
Popper's major contributions in his /Open Societies and it's Enemies/
outlining his ideas of Open Society
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_society>, which of course all ties
right back into the *other* thread of Asymmetric Snooping.
