Can you recommend any philosophy of science (or life) treatises about this?
I long considered myself a Popperian. A few years ago, I decided that I'm a "Predictionist" (a placeholder made up word until I learn better). I'm struggling to figure out what that even means.
I still agree with Popper. Empathetically.
I'm just tired of arguing. I forfeit. I give up. I no longer believe that discourse is helpful, that people are persuadable, that we can share Truth.
Instead, I just want to know the predictive strength of someone's Truth.
For example:
The Earth is flat? Oh? Cool. Please, tell me, how does that Truth help me?
