Abstract
Our basic model of success has been verified for a long time: collaboration is the starting point of our existence and has quintessentially been tried and tested until today! However, we do not seem to have found a systematic way to take control of our progress in its entirety. In some areas of life (e.g. competitive sports, medicine, engineering), we act very professionally and were able to forge ahead with impressive advancements.
According to Karl Popper “… a theory is scientific only in so far as it is falsifiable, and should be given up as soon as it is falsified. By applying Popper’s account of scientific method, would have killed the theories of Darwin and Einstein at birth”.
John Gray, Political Philosopher
