There are 2 perspectives humans take when it comes to solving a problem while trying to provide evidence and proof. Falsification: Falsification means trying to prove your hypothesis wrong. The idea was famously emphasized by philosopher Karl Popper. Instead of asking: “How can I prove this idea is correct?” You ask: “What evidence would show this idea is wrong?” Same swan example Hypothesis: “All swans are white.” Falsification test: - Find one black swan. If you find one, the hypothesis is immediately false. And that’s exactly what happened historically when black swans were discovered in Australia. Verification: Verification means trying to prove that your hypothesis is true. Example: Hypothesis: “All swans are white.” Verification approach: - Find a white swan ✔ - Find another white swan ✔ - Find 100 white swans ✔ You keep gathering confirming examples. The problem No matter how many white swans you find, you can never prove the statement absolutely. Why? Because somewhere there might be one black swan. This is the weakness of verification. PhyreDojo tries to maintain the (S.T.E.A.M.) Scientific Method from the FALSIFICATION perspective. Why falsification is stronger: Verification accumulates support. Falsification tests survival under attack. A strong scientific theory is one that: - survives many attempts to falsify it - makes predictions that could fail This shows real science: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1483707423124374&set=a.276778603817268

Pretty excited about this one. Got a Sotol on Sotol hand drill coal today! (Dasylirion wheeleri) It’s not the first coal I’ve ever made, but it’s the first one I’ve gotten in quite a number of years, and the first time I’ve captured video proof that I can still do it, which felt really good. Huge credit to our buddy Alex for bringing the freshly harvested Arizona Sotol, coaching me while I was spinning, filming the video evidence, and for the tip of using pine pitch on the hands for grip, which was a total game changer. Also want to give a big thank you to Joe Lau and Phyre Dojo for the knowledge and inspiration behind practicing this skill. We carried the coal into a nest and blew it into flame shortly after (photo included).

I’m very sorry. But, in my last posting about the (ED) EGYPTIAN DRILL & (CD) CRUTCH DRILL WORKSHOP coming up on this SUNDAY MARCH 15th, 2026, I said that along with the first 25 woods listed, that PhyreDojo would have another 25 woods with CHALLENGING Janka Hardnesses between about 1000 to 2000, totaling 50 wood materials available… that’s not true… PhyreDojo HAS THIRTY-EIGHT MORE WOODS, FOR A TOTAL OF SIXTY-THREE WOOD MATERIALS TO TRY!

This demo by Dalem Gumino demonstrates an excellent awareness of the SPACE Variable which doesn't get enough attention. https://www.facebook.com/reel/2413695422400087
