Notes On Our 2nd lecture

• Karl Popper (1902-1994) was born in Austria and part of the Vienna circle.
• His key book- logic of scientific discovery, was an attack on empiricism.
• The Vienna circle members Schlick, Neurath et all were against romanticism and metaphysics. They thought philosophy was in a bad state, they used science to clean up philosophy.
• Locke- we come into the world with a blank slate, no innate ideas. This is empiricism.
• Hume- no matter how much data we have we can never predict whats going to happen in the future.
• Popper realised that everything had the potential to be falsifiable. 
• Popper said that science has never really worked by induction anyway.
• Popper thinks that what we think is knowlegde, isn't actually knowledge.
• Copyright started back in 1640.
• To get something of yours copyrighted, you need to get it published first.
• At night when the Eifel tower is lit up it is copyrighted because the company that owns the lighting for the tower had their lighting design copywrighted.
• The performance rights society made google pay for the right for music to be played on youtube. Youtube is not free.
