More Quotes from Karl Raimund Popper:
You cannot have a rational discussion with a man who prefers shooting you to being convinced by you.Karl Raimund Popper
It is often asserted that discussion is only possible between people who have a common language and accept common basic assumptions. I think that this is a mistake. All that is needed is a readiness to learn from one's partner in the discussion, which includes a genuine wish to understand what he intends to say. If this readiness is there, the discussion wrighteous stupidityill be the more fruitful the more the partner's backgrounds differ.
Karl Raimund Popper
Do not allow your dreams of a beautiful world to lure you away from the claims of men who suffer here and now. Our fellow men have a claim to our help no generation must be sacrificed for the sake of future generations.
Karl Raimund Popper
... it seems to me certain that more people are killed out of righteous stupidity than out of wickedness.
Karl Raimund Popper
When we enter a new situation in life and are confronted by a new person, we bring with us the prejudices of the past and our previous experiences of people. These prejudices we project upon the new person. Indeed, getting to know a person is largely a matter of withdrawing projections of dispelling the smoke screen of what we imagine he is like and replacing it with the reality of what he is actually like.
