Form Karl Popper Selection, edited by David Miller, in page 59:
1. "All our machines and tool are destroyed, and all our subjective learning, including our subjective knowledge of mechines and tools, and how to use them. But libraries and our capacity to learn from them survive. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN ? Clearly, after much suffering, our world may get going on again".
2. "As before, mechines and tool are destroyed, and our subjective learning, including our subjective knowledge of mechines and tools, and how to use them. But this time, all libraries are destroyed also, so that our capacity to learn from books become useless".
"For in the second case, there will be no re-emergence of our civilization for many millennia"....there would be no theory of scientific knowledge...
I am % 100 Popperian in the sense of his contributions to Logic and the Philosophy of Science.
