I highly recommend reading Lakatos Imre "Proofs and Refutations" to anyone with an interest in methodology.

Reading Part IV, the final part, was most rewarding. Now I see some problems of language, theory, and method in a new light.

How large should your sample size be?

I recently bumped into the word "methodology" again. I hate this word. I've hated this word since I first bumped into it during my first summer as a co-op working in an R&D center in the sweltering summer of '88 in #Tidewater #Virginia. The suffix "-ology" means "the study of", e.g., "biology" is the study of life. Clearly #methodology is, or should be, the study of methods.

Alas, no.

Let's retire the endless magic bullets and solve problems together instead.

@kim lays out a #methodology for how we can start building #technology by thinking about people, not products: and guess what, it's rooted in existing #community networks .

#Zoomposium with Dr. Dr. #Walter #von #Lucadou: “On the #borders between #physics and #psychology - #hauntings, #ghosts and other #physical #phenomena”

It turned out that von Lucadou is anything but a #spiritual #ghosthunter, but on the contrary is rather located in #science and #rationally tries to fathom the #physical-explainable phenomena with #empirical ##methodology.
