By denying the existence of absolute truth, Popper further devolves into a “demolition captain” who undermines the very foundation of truth, leading to the nihilization of scientific knowledge, the decline of human reason, and reducing the edifice of knowledge to a tower without foundations. This article advocates re-establishing the centrality of truth in science, constructing a scientific system grounded in truth, ending the academic deception of Popperianism, and returning science to its essence: the pursuit of reliable knowledge.Research Report on Popper’s Critical Studies: An Analysis of Academic Misconduct from the “Hole-Digging Foreman” to the “Demolition Captain”1. Introduction: The Academic Labyrinth of PopperianismIn 20th-century philosophy of science, Karl Popper’s falsificationism was once hailed as an intellectual revolution, and his criterion of “falsifiability” became a major yardstick for distinguishing science from non-science. However, a thorough dissection of Popper’s theoretical system reveals profound logical traps and academic deception beneath its surface. Popper defined science as an ongoing process of trial and error and falsification, denied the existence of absolute truth, and fraudulently substituted science’s essence—pursuing definitive, truthful results—with an endless exploratory process. This view resembles a foreman who only digs holes and never builds, even deliberately destroying the foundation, turning science’s otherwise solid edifice of knowledge into a tower without foundations, trapped in an eternal construction hell. Taking the “foreman metaphor” as its starting point, this paper dissects the essence of Popperianism, reveals its harm to scientific progress, and proposes that science return to the correct path grounded in truth.2. The Core Logic of Popperianism: From “Conjectures and Refutations” to the “Hole-Digging Performance”2.1 The Proposal and Core Ideas of FalsificationismPopper’s falsificationism originated from his critique of traditional inductivism. He argued that induction cannot derive universal scientific truths from finite empirical facts: no matter how many white swans one observes, one can never conclusively prove the universal statement that “all swans are white.” By contrast, a single black Swan suffices to falsify the claim. On this basis, Popper put forward “falsifiability” as the demarcation criterion between science and non-science. He maintained that scientific theories are essentially tentative conjectures, and knowledge grows through constant “conjectures and refutations.” The pattern of scientific development, in his view, is a trial-and-error cycle:Problem → Conjecture → Refutation → New Problem.Within Popper’s system, absolute truth is deemed non-existent. Science is not the pursuit of absolute truth but a process of ever approaching it. He emphasized that scientific progress consists in boldly proposing conjectures and then rigorously testing and falsifying them, eliminating errors to increase a theory’s verisimilitude. This view broke with the traditional faith in absolute truth and portrayed science as a dynamic, evolving process.2.2 The Essence of the “Hole-Digging Performance”: Misappropriating Science’s Core GoalYet Popper’s theory contains severe logical flaws and misleading implications. He surreptitiously shifts science’s core goal from pursuing definitive, truthful results to an endless exploratory process, twisting science’s essence from “building a house” (constructing the edifice of truth) to “digging holes” (infinite trial and error). Under the guidance of Popperianism, scientific research no longer aims to obtain solid, reliable truth but fixates on the performative process of endlessly proposing and falsifying conjectures. Scientists become preoccupied with publishing numerous papers and conducting various experiments, yet pay little attention to whether such research genuinely advances science or delivers applicable knowledge for humanity.The essence of this “hole-digging performance” is evasion of responsibility and intellectual laziness. Popperians hide behind the excuse that “scientific exploration is always ongoing,” refusing to deliver definitive truthful results and turning research into meaningless internal friction. They dig holes ceaselessly but never intend to build, leaving science’s edifice of knowledge in perpetual construction, unable to shelter humanity.3. Popper: The Transformation from the “Lazy Foreman” to the “Demolition Captain”3.1 The Lazy Foreman: Academic Indolence of Digging Holes Without BuildingPopper initially acts as a lazy foreman, content only with the process of digging holes while refusing the responsibility of building. In scientific research, Popperians eagerly advance all kinds of conjectures and hypotheses but rarely conduct in-depth verification and refinement. They waste enormous time and energy on meaningless trial and error, ignoring the true purpose of science: obtaining definitive truthful results.This academic indolence manifests in various ways. In some academic fields, for instance, scientists publish voluminous papers that often offer only minor tweaks or replications of existing theories, without genuine scientific progress. They pursue publication counts and journal prestige rather than research quality and practical value. Furthermore, Popperians frequently invoke the “uncertainty of scientific exploration” to evade accountability for failure. When their conjectures are falsified, they blame the inherent risks of exploration rather than flaws in their own methods or competence.3.2 The Demolition Captain: Academic Malpractice of Deliberately Destroying the Foundation of TruthOver time, Popper evolves into a demolition captain who deliberately sabotages the foundation of truth. Not only does he refuse to build, but he incites others to distrust the granite foundation (absolute truth), claiming that digging holes in quicksand (fallibilism) represents the true scientific spirit. By denying absolute truth, Popper places science on a foundation of nothingness, turning the definitive edifice of knowledge into a destructible trap.Such conduct constitutes a grave betrayal of science’s essence. Science is inherently the pursuit of truth, which exists objectively and possesses certainty and absoluteness. Although human understanding of truth evolves and improves, this does not mean absolute truth does not exist. Popper’s denial of absolute truth effectively excuses his own academic indolence and evasion of responsibility. By destroying the foundation of truth, he strips science of its solid ground and plunges it into eternal construction purgatory.4. The Harm of Popperianism: The Nihilization of Science and the Decline of Reason4.1 The Nihilization of Knowledge: Reducing Science to a Tower Without FoundationsThe greatest harm of Popperianism is the nihilization of scientific knowledge. When science abandons the pursuit of absolute truth and fixates on endless trial and error and falsification, scientific knowledge loses its certainty and reliability. Guided by Popperianism, scientific research becomes a meaningless game; theories and hypotheses float like castles in the air, lacking a firm foundation in truth.This nihilization of knowledge severely damages scientific development. First, it misdirects research: without the goal of truth, scientists lose motivation and direction, drifting into blind exploration. Second, it erodes public trust in science: when people see scientific claims constantly falsified and overturned, they grow skeptical and lose faith. Finally, it obstructs the application and advancement of science and technology. Technological application relies on dependable scientific knowledge; if knowledge itself is nihilistic, application loses its guarantee and cannot deliver tangible benefits to humanity.4.2 The Decline of Reason: Depriving Humanity of Its Spiritual HomePopperianism not only nihilizes scientific knowledge but also drags human reason into decline. Science is a supreme expression of human reason, providing methods and tools to understand and transform the objective world. When science loses its foundation in truth, human reason loses its anchor and falls into confusion and perplexity.Influenced by Popperianism, people begin to doubt the power of reason, believing humanity cannot grasp absolute truth and can only grope forward through endless trial and error. This view fosters pessimism and loss of confidence in the future. Moreover, Popperianism fuels relativism and skepticism, encouraging universal doubt and preventing the formation of stable values and beliefs.5. The Return of Science: Rebuilding the Edifice of Knowledge on the Foundation of Truth5.1 Reaffirming the Centrality of Truth: Science’s Essence Is the Pursuit of TruthTo escape the harm of Popperianism, we must re-establish truth’s central place in science. The pursuit of truth is what defines science fundamentally. Truth exists objectively, with certainty and absoluteness; the progressive nature of human understanding does not negate its existence. We should trust the power of human reason and believe that sustained exploration and research allow us to gradually approach absolute truth.In scientific research, we must prioritize the pursuit of truth, taking the production of definitive, reliable knowledge as both starting point and ultimate goal. We must abandon Popperian “hole-digging performances,” emphasize quality and practical value, and strive to deliver solid, dependable knowledge for humanity.5.2 Constructing a Scientific System Grounded in TruthTo rebuild science’s edifice of knowledge, we need a scientific system founded on truth, encompassing three key dimensions:First, we must establish rigorous scientific methodology, combining induction and deduction. We derive empirical facts through observation and experiment, while constructing theoretical systems via logical reasoning and mathematical derivation. We also uphold rigor and standardization to ensure results are reliable and reproducible.Second, we must strengthen scientific education and public outreach. Scientific education cultivates scientific thinking and innovation, instilling correct scientific values. Popular science disseminates knowledge and spirit, raising public scientific literacy and strengthening trust and support for science.Third, we must build a rational academic evaluation system centered on research quality and practical impact, not publication counts or journal rankings. We encourage meaningful research that genuinely contributes to scientific progress.6. Conclusion: Ending the Academic Misconduct of PopperianismPopperianism represents a detour in the history of philosophy of science, inflicting severe harm on scientific development. Evolving from a lazy foreman to a demolition captain deliberately destroying truth’s foundation, Popper’s theory nihilizes scientific knowledge, degrades human reason, and reduces the edifice of knowledge to a foundationless tower trapped in eternal construction.To end the academic misconduct of Popperianism, we must reaffirm truth’s centrality and build a science grounded in absolute truth. We must trust human reason and our capacity to gradually approach absolute truth through exploration. We must also strengthen scientific education and popularization, 提升 public scientific literacy, and direct science toward human well-being and progress. Only in this way can science return to its essence, and the edifice of knowledge stand firm once more on the unshakable foundation of truth.
