Thanks for an interesting blog post!

You may enjoy checking out Karl Popper's theory of knowledge.

Lulie's [Thread](https://twitter.com/reasonisfun/status/1502427292953452544?t=qC7-y1xJfwls0EUs6HufHA&s=19) is a good starting point.

It is very interesting that you mention Popper's. His approach of scientific-knowledge-as-provisional is one of the starting points of the topic of "logics of discovery". The question of whether we can find a way to scientifically study the process of hypothesis-making, which is the most creative part of science.

Karl Popper was very ambiguous, but mostly negative, about it. While other philosophers, like Peirce, defended it. Peirce had a name for it [abductive reasoning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abductive_reasoning)

Which is one of the approaches to creativity I was attempting to use in my own research. Here, I just mixed it up with the basic ideas of the "embodied" cognitive science movement :D

I really enjoyed that thread! Thank you for sharing [Mathieu Lalonde](https://hashnode.com/@optimistdev)
