David Deutsch: A new way to explain explanation

I knew of the scientific method and how it was used to validate observable information. But I have never listened to such a marvelous explanation of the process than David Deutsch provides in the following video. I recommend it to anyone who pursues serious thought.

The Smell of Paradise

This is one of the most thought provoking documentaries that I have ever watched. The last 15 minutes are truly brilliant. At the end of it, when the Afgan man was saying good-by to the Poles the words he said moved me almost to tears and then when tears came to his eyes it was a special moment. This documentary demonstrates once more to me that all humans are meant to be one, and maybe this century will be the beginning of this process. ...David
