This is the first episode in a series on David Deutsch's groundbreaking work "The Beginning of Infinity". I read some passages from Chapter 1 "The Reach of Explanations" and make some explanatory remarks and other comments. This podcast is intended as a companion to the book.

If fallibalism is not true, then it’s prediction would indeed be true (that it is not true), which is of course a logical contradiction, similar to “this statement is false.” However, we have a lot of evidence for fallibalism being true as we have been improving theories for many years and all prior theories have been incorrect or false.

Fallibalism claims that any knowledge is uncertain and is open to corrections in the future. Doesn't this defeat the purpose of fallibalism that it itself can be wrong in the future? Thank you
