Hempel's Paradox (science methodology, philosophy of science)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raven_paradox
INTRO: Is a red apple proof that all ravens are black? A paradox of scientific logic. ALSO: Raven Paradox - 111 seconds .... The Raven Paradox - Sabine Hossenfelder
The Paradox of the Ravens
Consciousness as a prediction, not a perception, of ‘reality’
https://aeon.co/essays/the-hard-problem-...e-real-one
INTRO: It’s easy to mistake our conscious experience for an ongoing, accurate account of reality. [...] Anil Seth, professor of cognitive and computational neuroscience at the University of Sussex in the UK, puts our imperfect relationship with reality in perspective. ... Seth argues that it’s not just that our perceptions provide flawed accounts of the outside world, but that our brains aren’t in the business of recovering the outside world to begin with. So it’s more accurate to think of our conscious experience as a series of predictions that we’re incessantly and subconsciously fine-tuning – a world we build from the inside out, rather than the outside in.
