well enough to use hos name or quote him. I was thinking that John Baez, did
use Popper's name, a time or two, when defending his conformist view

But falsability is not a complete criterion for a scientific theory. It is
not a "demarcation" that separate science from not science and forces an

Free will means that your own will is relatively unopposed. When nothing is
