Karl Popper on Knowledge - Dictionary of Arguments
Brockman I 115 Knowledge/Popper/Deutsch: creative criticism, interleaved with creative conjecture, is how humans learn one another’s behaviors, including language, and extract meaning from one another’s utterances.(1) Deutsch: Those are also the processes by which all new knowledge is created: They are how we innovate, make progress, and create abstract understanding for its own sake. This is human-level intelligence: thinking. Popper’s argument implies that all thinking entities - Brockman I 116 - human or not, biological or artificial - must create such knowledge in fundamentally the same way. Deutsch: (…) understanding any of those entities requires traditionally human concepts such as culture, creativity, disobedience, and morality (…). Evolution of Knowledge/Deutsch: there were hundreds of thousands of years of near stasis. Progress happened only on timescales much longer than people’s lifetimes, so in a typical generation no one benefited from any progress. >Imitation/Deutsch, >Learning/Deutsch. 1.
