Philosophy of FUNNY
Today's comic is up!
Late!
So, when I first posted this, I accidentally wrote "The Ghost of Bertrand Russell" instead of "The Ghost of Karl Popper". WHAT AN IRONIC MISTAKE!!!
This is ironic because the joke on this day is that Karl Popper was the dude who put forward the idea that a scientific theory was considered scientific not in virtue of the amount of positive proof available for it, but rather in virtue of its potential falsifiability. He was not a fan of proof!
Bertrand Russell was the dude, on the other hand, who influenced other philosophy of science guys like Rudolph Carnap, who thought that a scientific theory held its merit in its verifiability! WOAH
Then again, I guess Bertrand Russell also influenced Karl Popper...
NOT SO IRONIC AFTER ALL!
Also, that joke's not so funny now, is it?!
