Does George Soro's "Open Society Foundation" has anything to do with open society?

[praveenkumardhankar]

It's all an experiment to philosophers. But there's a distinction with scientific and social experiments. Plus they're much more costly and the results can rarely be reproduced over a small period of time.

Hvad er det Karl Popper snakker om her?

[rantym]

Popper se refiere a una sociedad en la que se pueda respirar y pensar libremente, donde cada individuo tiene valor y la sociedad no impone restricciones innecesarias a las personas. Los enemigos de la sociedad abierta son principalmente los fascistas, los nazis y las dictaduras comunistas, aunque en ese momento la dictadura comunista estaba aliada con los países occidentales.

There isnt a modern government on earth smart enough, capable enough, and nimble enough to accomplish this hyper pragmatic approach to its politics. Nor is there a civilian base anywhere in the world willing enough to grant such free reign required of a government to socially engineer at the level he describes throughout his work.

The paradox of Popperian politics is that it is inevitably closed. It looks to limit a government "just so" while allowing it the necessary power of coercion to socially engineer; but at whose behest and towards what ends? Once you answer those two questions, you have closed your doors. I've always felt that his ideology was best digested as a liberal fantasy, something you only use in a thought experiment that has left the world behind for the purely abstract. While his approach may be an extreme, it still might be a useful polemic, but it is not realistic.

I'd also add that his pragmatic approach is in direct conflict with pragmatic theories of truth. We don't run experiments and find new data just to restructure our entire theory. We blend the two and conform them in ways that uphold what has been previously held as truth

As a fellow Ashkenazi jew, Open Society values are of existential importance!

Man's achievement is to have created a world of rhyme, in the intimate imagination, which is as real in its way as any country on the map. Sir Karl Popper, in one of his most important papers, calls it "The Third World" or "World 3". The first world is the objective world of things. The second world is my inner subjective world; but, says Popper, there's a third world, the world of objective contents of thoughts. Teilhard de Chardin calls this third world the "Noosphere", that is, the world of the mind.

flaws of constitutions, but I didn't hear an option.

His definition of democracy is very bourgeois

Every political person wants power and more of it and some are prepared to do what it takes. Nice guy then into 😈

But the idea something can't be true unless it is susceptible to the possibility of falsification is logically absurd.
