# A Critical Reading of Karl Popper on the Necessity of Critical Discussion I read and critically evaluate Popper's paper on the necessity of critical discussion. Published in 1981, [his paper](https://cdn.centerforinquiry.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/1981/01/22161304/p07.pdf) is still relevant in light of today's conflict in Ukraine. I talk about the seeds of both libertarian and collectivist thought in the paper; how to respond to people who act in bad faith; why we can't trust Putin or Zelensky; why law enforcement isn't as good as it should be; liberty, democracy, the West vs. the rest; and more. It was late when I recorded this so I get a bit quieter as the video goes on. **[Watch here](https://youtu.be/XDd8Qwu-1Uk)** Additional resources: - [Don’t Be Fooled by Zelensky](/posts/don-t-be-fooled-by-zelensky) - [Popper’s Criterion Is Insufficient](/posts/popper-s-criterion-is-insufficient) - [Don’t Use Square](/posts/don-t-use-square) - [Popper on Adorno and Habermas](/posts/analyzing-the-cambridge-declaration-on-consciou#comment-152) - [Ayn Rand on how to lead a rational life in an irrational society](https://courses.aynrand.org/works/how-does-one-lead-a-rational-life-in-an-irrational-society/)
