My only qualification is that I prefer Peirce to Popper, but
Popper isn't bad -- he reinvented some of Peirce's stuff. (04)
I also like Wittgenstein, who got into a bit of a "poker"
battle with Popper, who said (05)
"Thou shalt not threaten guest speakers with a poker." (06)
On that point, I sympathize with Wittgenstein. Although I
never took action, I've heard guest speakers who deserved it. (07)
