“…"[I]t merely rejects the absolute validity of any rule in all historical epochs". 68 In the first book edition (1975), Feyerabend acknowledged that the term "anarchism" was misleading, implying a total absence of principles, 69 while his aim was not to eliminate all principles, 70 but to change attitudes towards them: come clear that there is only one principle that can be defended under all circumstances and in all stages of human development. It is the principle: anything goes" (pp.…”

Epistemological anarchism is a methodological fallibilism, i.e. an approach according to which all scientific knowledge is not only provisional, but so are the methods of acquiring it. It is a belief that we are doomed to a provisional character of knowledge, yet the guide to this provisionality is a selected methodology. This conviction is contrasted with the belief that not only are we doomed to a provisional character of knowledge, but that we have no permanent guide to this provisional knowledge.

“…As Sober (2013) suggests, we would need "carbon copies" of the organism to be placed in a variety of situations to analyze how it (they) would fare overall. But as Sober ( 2013) has eloquently put it, organisms "taste of life but once", and as Karl Popper (1959) has pointed out, unrepeatable events "cannot be decided by science". Because our lives are unrepeatable events, individual fitnesses cannot be measured by empirical science.…”

A naturalistic theory of moral realism, based on ancient Greek eudaimonism, is presented using concepts from biological and evolutionary theory. The general empirical claim is that each species evolves traits which promote flourishing in those individual members who develop them. Using biological analogies, Plato (Repub 352d–354c) and Aristotle (NE 1097b21–1098a20) gave their ergon arguments defending the functional excellence of the virtues and their central role in making human lives flourish. A new version of these arguments is based on a contemporary understanding of biological function and individual fitness, and a definition of “eudaimonia” constructed from this naturalistic basis. Human beings will live as well as possible by developing the virtues, for these traits allow us to act as well as possible regardless of the individual circumstances. Many standard objections are resolved, including Enoch’s “just too different” objection, Millgram’s Pollyanna objection, Copp and Sobel’s objection from relativism, and Watson’s gangster objection.

“…(2) A wide range of real-world datasets facilitates crossdomain evaluation of the new contributions and provides broad and correct assessment across a variety of use cases (i.e., better pruning of the falsifiable insights [24]). Also, we will have the opportunity to improve several graph algorithms and optimizations that exploit the structure of graphs [2], [10], [11], [25], [26].…”

A major challenge in processing real-world graphs stems from poor locality of memory accesses and vertex reordering algorithms (RAs) have been proposed to improve locality by changing the order of memory accesses.While state-of-the-art RAs like SlashBurn, GOrder, and Rabbit-Order effectively speed up graph algorithms, their capabilities and disadvantages are not fully understood, mainly, for three reasons: (1) the large size of datasets, (2) the lack of suitable measurement tools, and (3) disparate characteristics of graphs. The paucity of analysis has also inhibited the design of more efficient RAs.This paper unlocks this black box by introducing a number of tools, including: (1) a cache simulation technique for processing large graphs, (2) the Neighbour to Neighbour Average ID Distance (N2N AID) as a spatial locality metric, (3) the degree distributions of simulated cache miss rate and AID to investigate how locality of different vertices is affected by RAs, and (4) "effective cache size" to measure how much of cache capacity is used to support random accesses.We introduce (1) asymmetricity degree distribution, (2) degree range decomposition, and (3) push and pull locality to present a structural analysis of different types of real-world graphs by explaining their contrasting behaviours in confronting RAs.Finally, we propose a number of improvements for RAs using the analysis provided in this paper.
