Fallibilism

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Fallibilism: knowledge does not require certainty—a belief can count as knowledge while remaining open to revision by future evidence.

Show

Science operates fallibilistically: Newton's mechanics counted as knowledge for centuries, then Einstein revised the ledger without erasing it.

Watch for

Fallibilism is not skepticism. It lowers the bar from certainty; it does not remove the bar.
