Hi friends, /sci/ here. Anyone have a good starting reading list for Karl Popper?
I want to be less of a meme statistician
Popper is a fag. Read Heisenberg's physics and philosophy. Or Thomas Kuhn.

Quoted the wrong, you get the idea.
Just start anywhere. Once you pop the fun don't stop

Fgt, Kuhn is a response to Popper's positivism.
The classic is The Logic of Scientific Discovery. Also check out http://worthylab.tamu.edu/courses_files/popper_conjecturesandrefutations.pdf
I'd also read some Hempel, Carnap, Wesley Salmon, and maybe Kuhn, Lakatos, Quine, Goodman.

But it may be a better idea to just read http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/statistics/ and some of the linked articles.
Also worth considering, if you've got the time: working through one of

http://fitelson.org/confirmation/syllabus.html
there are also more syllabi on his website.
