It first clarifies its core claim: demarcating empirical science by “falsifiability,” excluding mathematics, with the aim of refuting theoretical systems that are “always correct.” It then points out its core controversies, including loopholes such as its own unfalsifiability and logical double standards. It further analyzes that the root of its popularity lies in speculative collusion driven by interests, as well as its multiple harms to intelligence, institutions, culture, and civilization. The paper defines science in a broad sense and the criterion of truth, proposes actionable strategies such as reclaiming the definitional power of science and reverse-auditing the falsification yardstick, provides standards for identifying genuine and fake scientists, and discusses resistance to reform and the future outlook of civilization. The core is to re-establish reverence for truth and break the speculative dilemma.Criticism of Popper’s Falsificationism and Related DiscussionsI. Starting Point of Core Discussion: Core Claims and Controversies of Popper’s Falsificationism1. Core Views of PopperPopper held that there is no absolute “proof of truth,” and science is not the pursuit of “final truth” but a process of eliminating errors. All empirical scientific theories may be false (or approximate), but good theories are those that have not yet been refuted and have survived the most severe tests. Its core criterion isfalsifiability: an empirical scientific theory must make specific predictions that can be overturned by observation or experiment; otherwise, it is not science.Popper explicitly excluded mathematics and logic from “empirical science.” He argued that 112 is a necessary deductive truth based on axioms, independent of empirical observation and unfalsifiable by “real-world counterexamples,” thus belonging to formal science rather than empirical science as he defined it. He emphasized that this was not to disparage mathematics, but to draw a precise demarcation: mathematics is a tool of science, not a conjecture “subject to empirical risk-testing.”Its historical background was a response to then-popular “always correct” systems such as Marxism and psychoanalysis—systems that could explain everything yet ran no risk of being refuted. Popper advocated critical rationalism, holding that all theories (including his own) must be subject to continuous criticism and potential refutation, and that scientists should actively design “crucial experiments” to overthrow their own theories rather than seek verification.2. Core Points of Controversy: Challenges to Popper’s FalsificationismThe central contradiction revolves around whether 112 qualifies as science, extending to the critique of falsificationism itself. The main objections are as follows:Objection 1: 112 is an ultimate truth mastered by humanity. Popper’s exclusion of it from “empirical science” is regarded as sophistry—essentially to preserve the label of “falsifiable science” and prevent the collapse of his own standard.Objection 2: Falsificationism itself is unfalsifiable, yet it claims to distinguish science from pseudoscience, amounting to “a thief crying ‘stop thief’”—using the biggest and most toxic “one-size-fits-all theory” (irrefutable and always self-justifying) to solve the problem of one-size-fits-all theories, which is logically incoherent.Objection 3: While opposing “absolute truth” and “authoritarianism,” Popper treated his own principle of falsifiability as an unchallengeable absolute law, representing a “new authoritarianism under the cloak of anti-authoritarianism”—exclusive and dictatorial, expelling mathematical truth from the domain of science while placing himself beyond the rules.Objection 4: Popper’s theory is not a victory of logic, but a violation of common sense by sophistry. It exploits humanity’s fear of “authoritarianism,” packaging counterintuitive sophistry as “advanced and modest scientific spirit” and distorting normal human intellectual judgment.II. In-Depth Critique: Roots and Harms of the Popularity of Popper’s Falsificationism1. Core Root of Popularity: Interest-Driven Speculative NetworkThe reason Popper’s falsificationism has prevailed for more than half a century is not its superior logic, but its alignment with human greed and selfishness.So-called “so-called experts, professors, and Nobel laureates” are not unable to see its logical flaws (contradictions obvious even to a young child), but deliberately pretend ignorance. They find this theory a “top-level scam”: it can package “tinkering” as “science” and turn “perpetual uncertainty” into a perpetual motion machine for harvesting interests. Without producing solid, genuine truth, they can long occupy the throne of “scientist” and “academic authority,” continuously obtaining funding, status, honors, and social resources.Ultimately, this deeply flawed fallacy evolved into an intricate “speculative network”: too many people choose to be deceived voluntarily, or even participate in collective fraud, packaging human greed and selfishness as “critical rationality” and “scientific spirit.” This is humanity’s greatest tragedy—foolishness can be educated, but institutionalized and collectively rationalized greed is a chronic poison to civilization.2. Specific Harms of FalsificationismIntellectual Disaster: Society gradually embraces low-standard thinking such as “no absolute truth,” “everything is temporary,” and “tinkering is science,” leading to the dwarfing of collective intelligence.Institutional Disaster: Academic evaluation, resource allocation, and the education system are distorted into machines serving low-quality production, marginalizing those genuinely pursuing hard truths.Cultural Disaster: The public loses reverence for certain knowledge, instead blindly trusting “authorities” and “latest research,” making them vulnerable to manipulation by sophisticatedly packaged lies.Civilizational Disaster: When a civilization no longer places truth at the apex, but prioritizes interests and power, its foundation slowly rots, and its spirit and reason degenerate.III. Key Consensus: Return of Truth Sovereignty and Core Action Strategies1. Core Consensus: The Essence of Truth and the Definition of ScienceThe discussion establishes a core consensus and corrects Popper’s narrow definition:Broad Definition of Science (in line with common sense):Science should include all systematic, reliable, truth-seeking knowledge. As the most fundamental and certain mathematical truth, 112 is the cornerstone of science, not “non-science.”Core Criterion of Truth:Science must first be truth: “truth that is eternally correct and irrefutable within its applicable boundaries,” including necessary truths of mathematics and logic, as well as the determinate parts of empirical theories within their explicit boundaries.Position of “Truth Candidates”:Humanity needs large numbers of people engaged in “truth candidate” work (data collection, model building, boundary definition), but these must be clearly labeled and must not impersonate “science.” Exploration may involve trial and error and failure, but must never engage in evasion, sophistry, or fraud at the logical foundation.2. Core Action Strategies: Reclaim Truth Sovereignty and Break the Speculative Network(1) The Most Critical Step: Reclaim the Definitional Power of “Science”“Science” is the greatest talisman and money-printing machine for speculators. Its definitional power must be recaptured from profit-driven groups:Strictly restrict the meaning of “science”: It refers only to “truth that is eternally correct and irrefutable within its applicable boundaries”; all others are labeled “truth candidates,” “empirical conjectures,” etc.Deprive “scientific speaking rights”: Publicly challenge anyone who engages in logical fraud or double standards (e.g., using “science is constant trial and error” to disparage 112) and dismantle their authoritative mystique.Desacralization: In education, media, and daily discourse, do not casually bestow the title “scientist” on empirical explorers, making the title scarce and weighty.(2) The Most Effective Weapon: Reverse Audit of the Falsification YardstickThis is the fastest way for humanity to reclaim “intellectual sovereignty,” preventing speculators from hiding behind Popper’s guise. The core action is:In all academic discussions and public debates, force advocates of falsificationism to complete one task:“First use your own falsification yardstick to falsify your own principle of falsifiability.”This move corners the opponent immediately:Admitting unfalsifiability means admitting it is not science.Arguing “it is a methodology, not a theory” is a double standard.Changing the subject or becoming angry exposes their identity as “logical hypocrites” on the spot.Ready-to-use rhetoric:“Before you use falsifiability to judge others, please complete a simple task: use your own falsification yardstick to falsify your own principle of falsifiability. If you cannot do this, please be silent, for a rule that fails to pass its own test is unqualified to judge any theory.”(3) Deconstruct Authority: Dispel Mystique and Expose HypocritesThe core asset of authority is “public trust.” The key to deconstructing it is to make them look ridiculous in the face of basic, hard logic (112, Fma, etc.):Confront with simple hard logic repeatedly: Ask repeatedly, “Is 112 science or not?” “Does Fma fail when you run?” “Is your falsificationism itself falsifiable?”Choose appropriate venues: Public debates, social media, classrooms, etc., so that the general public can intuitively see top experts flounder in basic logic, dismantling their aura.IV. Practical Tool: Criteria for Identifying Genuine vs. Fake Scientists (Final Version)1. Core Characteristics of Fake Scientists (Gilded Exterior, Rotten Interior)Frequently and enthusiastically propagates Popperian slogans such as “falsifiability,” “science is constant trial and error,” “no absolute truth,” and “everything is conjecture.”Treats “falsifiability” as a belief, philosophical position, or advanced scientific spirit.Likes to attack others: “Your theory is unfalsifiable, so it is not science.”Essentially packages low-quality production with rhetoric while maintaining authority and interests.When asked “Is your falsificationism itself falsifiable?”, evades, changes the subject, or becomes angry (100% diagnostic).2. Core Characteristics of Genuine Scientists (Or At Least Substantive Researchers)Treats “falsification” only as an experimental tool or testing method, using it quietly without promoting it as essence or belief.Rarely mentions “falsifiability” and never uses it to judge others arbitrarily.Truly focuses on establishing reliable, rigorous, and as-certain-as-possible knowledge within applicable boundaries.Maintains basic reverence for absolute truths such as 112 and logically necessary truths, rather than rushing to disparage them.One-Sentence Summary:Genuine scientists use falsification as a tool; fake scientists use falsification as a trademark.V. Extended Discussion: Resistance to Reform and Future Outlook1. Greatest Resistance to ReformCore Resistance: Backlash from vested interests—they control resources, discourse power, and institutional channels; their livelihood, identity, and status depend entirely on the current low-standard system. They will attack reform with moral labels such as “strangling innovation” and “anti-science,” erect institutional barriers, and launch collective stigmatization, representing the most stubborn obstacle.Secondary Resistance: Public panic from blind faith in authority—accustomed to the simple mindset that “experts are always right,” people feel confused and uneasy when suddenly deprived of authoritative endorsement. However, this panic is temporary and can be gradually transformed through education and popular science.2. Future Outlook: The Civilizational Vision After Correcting the CourseAfter “correcting the course,” civilization will no longer need top experts who “call a stag a horse.” Instead, it will be replaced by explorers with independent intellectual sovereignty and profound reverence for truth. The “truth candidates” they produce will increasingly approach absolute truths like 112. Human civilization will shift fromquantitative prosperity to qualitative rigor, fromdiscourse hegemony to reverence for truth, and fromacademic industry to civilizational accumulation—this is the truly hardcore evolution of human civilization.Reform does not require completely dismantling the existing scientific research system, but must thoroughly reset evaluation criteria, discourse systems, and resource allocation rules, abandon false authorities, and return the highest honor of “science” to those genuinely pursuing truth. Although the process will be painful, only in this way can “science” regain its original weight and unleash the true driving force of human exploration into the unknown.
