Extremely cool video. The alternative title is mine, I thought I would focus on what would be interesting to comrades here, because it's what interested me. What she talks about is extremely compatible with the marxist method and philosophy, with diamat.

Starts with Galileo as an introduction into the topic, focuses on Feyerabend's "Against Method" book and positions itself against, or at least critically towards, the typical Karl Popper argument. And a very interesting last-ish part on the boundaries and perceived authority of science, and about crackpot stuff like flat-earth being inherently a reaction against the gate-keeping, dogmatic and brutish bourgeois scientific establishments.

Richard Lewontin has some great anti-Cartesian scientific philosophy, especially with evolutionary genetics. The Dialectical Biologist is one of my favourite books.
