This thread seems important. If ideas around critical rationalism are causing people life problems, that's a major issue. I hope CR can be patched up to not have these issues. (I think there's the makings of a good solution: more leaning on tradition, actual fallibilism, etc.)https://twitter.com/tjaulow/status/1206188493421985792 …
There are a few pages in BoI that discuss "bad philosophy of science" which show he hasn't read it. There's basically only one specific thing he says, which is that Kuhn was an anti-realist, which is absolutely incorrect.

I don't have an opinion on Kuhn, but I would only hazard you to not miss the forest for the trees, or hold an undue bias against an entire book for one mistake (if it's that) :)

Well, I believe it is a great book in several ways. For instance, it inspires belief in scientific progress, which I think is extremely important, and increasingly under attack.

This is a misreading of the text. He did not say Kuhn was an anti-realist. He said Kuhn admitted to the existence of a physical world but that science had no access to it.pic.twitter.com/UbQ0yEy9Gq
