Lakatos referred to this as a degenerating research paradigm. It's over, find a different theory of politics

to the extent that there's any "research" being done by the stochastic parrotheads, it's a classic "degenerate research program" as Lakatos would have put it

Blind commitment to a theory is not an intellectual virtue: it is an intellectual crime.

Lakatos on Popper isn't half bad
devezer.bsky.social Berna Devezer @devezer.bsky.social · Oct 25
“Popper seems to cultivate rhetoric deliberately, partly to cover up the weaknesses of his argument and partly, I suppose, for moral reasons, to give the impression that he has an argument when he has none. This is characteristic of his whole life’s work. Most of his famous theses are slogans

The demarcation between science and pseudoscience is not a pseudo-problem of armchair philosophers: it has grave ethical and political implications.

Popper vs Lakatos

New article by Dmytro Sepetyi attempts to reconcile Popper and Lakatos regarding the demarcation debate.

doi.org/10.1080/0269...

#PhilSci #PhilSky #AcademicSky 🧪
This article offers critical analysis of the debate between Karl Popper and Imre Lakatos about distinctive features of empirical science that allow to demarcate it from non-science and especially pseudoscience. Popper's demarcational proposition is explained as involving essentially two requirements, logical (to the theory itself, that it had potential falsifiers) and methodological (to scientists' attitude with respect to the theory, that they were willing to recognise its empirical falsification. Lakatos's criticisms of ‘Popper's basic rule’ that ‘criteria of refutation have to be laid down beforehand’ and Popper's reply to these criticisms, as well as Lakatos's alternative demarcational proposition, are discussed. The argument is made that although Lakatos's criticisms and proposition have considerable merits, he goes too far in claiming that it is OK for scientists to wave away or ignore apparent falsifications of a theory so long as the theory is successful in generating lots of successful unexpectable predictions, and generally understates the importance of the critical attitude for the development of science. On the other hand, Popper's falsificationist approach can be modified so as to accommodate sound points of Lakatos's criticisms and proposition while retaining the basic structure and critical rationalist character of Popper's demarcational proposition.

And as Lakatos argued, something becomes a pseudoscience in a post hoc fashion.

Zitron's an interesting case of a theory adding more and more epicycles. I don't think anything in AI itself prepared me for reading his articles more than reading Lakatos in college.

My "I didn’t kill Imre Lakatos" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.
oscarw.bsky.social Oscar @oscarw.bsky.social · Jun 16
Just came across this remarkable interview with Marjorie Grene at age 94: www.thebeliever.net/an-interview...

Two of my favourite bits, when Grene is asked about Rorty and about Lakatos: Rorty is just witty, but doesn't have a philosophy and Grene is quick to say that she did not kill Lakatos!
BLVR: That reminds me, I forgot to ask about Richard Rorty. You’re friends with him, though you don’t agree with his philosophy? MG: We are friends, but you can’t agree with his philosophy. It doesn’t exist! He’s a wit! He should’ve lived in the eighteenth century. He just makes clever remarks that don’t mean anything. The thing about Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature is based on a total misinterpretation of Kant. It’s totally wrong about Kant, and I’m sort of a Kant person. BLVR: You know, I forgot to ask about philosopher of science Imre Lakatos— MG: I didn’t kill him!! BLVR: Why does everyone say you had a part in it? MG: Because once he helped me out of a taxi in London and he hit his head on the door. And I didn’t kill him! He died soon, and I don’t know if it was the head bump. But it wasn’t because of me! [Laughing heartily]

Are you a Lakatos nerd? Then time to read our new paper and read the thread below. "Kneebone and Lakatos: at the roots of a
dialectical philosophy of mathematics" is forthcoming in the HOPOS journal, and a preprint is available online now. (Joint work with Brendan Larvor and Colin Rittberg).
