I like some of what I think I understand about Feyerabend's ideas, but I didn't get on with his actual books. I expected something ethnographic-y or observation based, but only found incredibly abstract stuff.

I listened to a few interviews with Liam Kofi Bright, and his ideas about what truth is are pretty interesting. The perspective of 'giving us truths' or 'getting to the truth', is unsatisfying to me.

I think there has to be a core of some kind of 'predict what will happen when we do something, then see how close we got, tweak it in response to these observations, then repeat'.
