Re: Richard J. Lipton • Vaccines Are Not Developing Back in the day when I was making The Big Bucks (inflation-adjusted dollars) consulting on research statistics in bioscience-medical-nursing-public-health settings, I noticed a certain analogy between propositional calculus research (PCR0) and … Continue reading →

Theme One • A Program Of Inquiry 19

Posted on October 7, 2020 by Jon Awbrey

Re: Richard J. Lipton • Knowledge Is Good It’s the usual thing to say scientific inquiry involves a combination of deductive and inductive reasoning.  A slightly different, 3-phase model, going back to Aristotle and revived by Charles S. Peirce, analyzes … Continue reading →
