In the film Clementine has Joel erased from her memory, and in retaliation he has her erased from his memory, but despite the erasures they are drawn together.

Epistemology and Philosophy of Science


For me, epistemology resides at the heart of everything philosophical, because to question knowledge is to inevitably reveal the inherent complexity of appearance, perception, and reality. And philosophy of science is the most vital epistemological extension, because it concerns a shared reality between individuals that appears to be objectively certain.

Nothing philosophical exists in a vacuum, ho Read more of this blog post »

Janna Levin
“...we are the product of this universe and I think it can be argued that the entire cosmic code is imprinted in us. Just as our genes carry the memory of our biological ancestors, our logic carries the memory of our cosmological ancestry. We are not just imposing human-centric notions on a cosmos independent of us. We are progeny of this cosmos and our ability to understand it is an inheritance.”
Janna Levin, How the Universe Got Its Spots: Diary of a Finite Time in a Finite Space

Susan Orlean
“Sometimes I think I've figured out some order in the universe, but then I find myself in Florida”
Susan Orlean, The Orchid Thief

Karl Popper
“A theory which is not refutable by any conceivable event is nonscientific. Irrefutability is not a virtue of a theory (as people often think) but a vice.”
Karl Popper, Conjectures and Refutations: The Growth of Scientific Knowledge

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
“Nothing is necessitated whose opposite is possible.”
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Discourse on Metaphysics and Other Essays

L.E. Henderson
“Here the clouds constantly adjusted like obedient phantoms, so that shadows never lengthened or shortened. At any point in space, Limbo never became any darker or lighter than the moment before.”
