C’est là que la conception falsificationniste permet l’introduction d’une distinction qui n’existait pas dans la conception inductiviste : la distinction entre contexte de découverte (le contexte dans lequel on en vient à construire une théorie ou à formuler une hypothèse) et le contexte de justification (l’ensemble des éléments qui conduisent à accepter ou rejeter une théorie). Dans la conception inductiviste, ces deux contextes étaient confondus : l’observation “pure” et neutre de la nature constituait à la fois le processus par lequel le scientifique venait à formuler une hypothèse (= contexte de découverte) et les données soutenant cette hypothèse (= contexte de justification)
L’épistémologie Opportuniste De Didier Raoult

For millennia, human economic systems have evolved under one fundamental premise—scarcity. Scarcity exists when human wants for goods and services exceed the limited supply for them. Scarcity has been the cause of wars, mass migration, capital markets, and every aspect of how civilization has developed. Scarcity is an assumption made by all theories of economics. Economics is a social science concerned with the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. The field is concerned with how individuals, businesses, governments, and nations make choices about how to allocate resources. A fundamental assumption of economics is that society’s wants are unlimited, but all resources are limited. Economic models are theories about how to produce, distribute, and consume these scarce resources efficiently.

From these clues, I offer a theorem: the tree-to-ground reengineering of sleep was a key trigger that rocketed Homo sapiens to the top of evolution’s lofty pyramid. At least two features define human beings relative to other primates. I posit that both have been beneficially and causally shaped by the hand of sleep, and specifically our intense degree of REM sleep relative to all other mammals: (1) our degree of sociocultural complexity, and (2) our cognitive intelligence. REM sleep, and the act of dreaming itself, lubricates both of these human traits.
