Paul Feyerabend

Feyer...

Feyerabend, I don't know how to say that, Feyerabend, argued that violations of established methods are not simply failures of understanding, but are often necessary for progress.

In an attempt to challenge these conventions, I began constructing temporary sculptures from found objects within my home, allowing myself only five minutes to complete each work before photographing it.

Are you kidding me? Through this deliberately constrained and performative process, photography becomes a vessel through which the act of creation and its resulting artifacts are documented rather than treating the sculptures as subjects of inherent significance.

Not even really.

Oh, Paul Feyerabend, who's a philosopher of science, wrote a book called Science in a Free Society.

Science in a Free Society? Yeah.

Where he makes some really radical proposals that I think are quite interesting.

What was his name again? Paul Feyerabend.

F-E-Y-E-R-A-B-E-N-D.

That one's not on audio.

They serve the golem of the truth in some weird way that makes the truth okay, even if it kills you.

I studied philosophy from Paul Feyerabend, and he used to say at the beginning of his epistemology 101 course, I will teach you to recognize the truth and I will teach you to ask the question, what's so great about it? You know, I mean, so now you've got the truth.

So what's so great about it? It was 1460.
