Donal: Popper's philosophy does indeed create some intractable tangles
[e.g. explicating 'verisimilitude'] but the Raven Paradox isn't one...
Hold on a minute! That was Hempel. I know you like Popper, but jeez, he
gets more work in your posts than an accordion player at a Polish
wedding. From Nietzsche, we've high-tailed it to Poppermania.
My slim and increasingly unimportant point was that, as per my reading
of Nietzsche's unsystematic psychology -- and yes I've read Fred, even
passages in German ("Lordy! Gladys, there's an American intromitting
discussion in...Gasp...more than one language!"), even listened to some
of his bush-league piano music -- people do what they want to do.
People do what they want to do. That's what they do. Yep.
