Philosophy

Wittgenstein

Our greatest achievements, as humans, lie, among other things, in the knowledge that we accumulate. Socrates is quoted as having said that one studies in order to know just how much one does not know. In essence, the modern scientific method progresses in the same manner, in that it cannot prove anything, but only disprove theories. Thus, science will never tell us what is true, but rather, what it knows to be not true.

This section contains the small share of what I've learnt that we know, or what I have supposedly discovered myself.
