That was a good episode, I need to listen to more! And, to ragebait further, I’m also not a Popperian, I’m more of a Lakatosian with Feyerabendian characteristics.
As I came across this, I know I’m not likely your chosen reader base, but I had fun stopping here anyway. I’m in finance, so I’m no stranger to a stat, but rarely do I get to hear a conversation about the mere existence and grander-than-margins reasons for what we do (deliverables find their way into idle spaces of reflection) but this struck a nice central point between interesting and challenging for me. Thank you for the nice scenic walk confirming what we know to be true but always wonder if we can disprove: life still operates in balance and on scales, never all the way in one camp or another.

I admit I haven't read Lakatos or Feyerabend directly, just absorbed their views from secondary sources. Any recommendations on where to start?
Ian Hacking's introduction to 4th edition of Feyerabend's Against Method is a good place to start: https://thehangedman.com/teaching-files/hps/hacking-feyerabend.pdf. Then For and Against Method: https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/F/bo3629717.html.
