Why is Popper relevant? If anything, because of this: "Popper (1966, p. 395) warns against the 'magic of high-sounding words' and the 'power of jargon' to be found in doctrines which are 'full of logical mistakes and of tricks, presented with pretentious impressiveness. This undermined and eventually lowered the traditional standards of intellectual responsibility and honesty. It also contributed to the rise of totalitarian philosophizing and, even more serious, to the lack of any determined intellectual resistance to it."
