Just about the time you begin to think you may have figured some things out about life, you run into something that completely sets you back. Check out this Philosopher for fun, he fucked up my certainty of the way things are.

Sir Karl Raimund Popper (July 28, 1902 – September 17, 1994) was an Austrian and British [1]philosopher and a professor at the London School of Economics. He is counted among the most influential philosophers of science of the 20th century, and also wrote extensively on social and political philosophy. Popper is known for repudiating the classical observationalist/inductivist account of scientific method by advancing empirical falsification instead; for his opposition to the classical justificationist account of knowledge which he replaced with critical rationalism, "the first non justificational philosophy of criticism in the history of philosophy"[2] and for his vigorous defense of liberal democracy and the principles of social criticism which he took to make the flourishing of the "open society" possible.
