#Falsificationism

Falsificationism is the scientist’s paradoxical pastime of debunking unprovable theories rather than confirming them. It values the discovery of counterexamples over the accumulation of supportive evidence, embodying a twisted offshoot of positivism. The ethos of refining a theory by relentlessly seeking its demise resembles a philosophical ascetic practice of self-negation. The loftier a hypothesis soars, the more spectacular its fall, and the brightest glory is reserved for the moment of its destruction.
