Is that the very best drivel you can come up with?

I could move on from Popper if you like, but you have to understand what he said first.

from the same source.

<< While he criticized sociology for often lacking testable hypotheses, he didn’t dismiss its potential to become scientific in the future.

Popper thought that sociology could develop in a more scientific direction by focusing on creating theories that are open to falsification. For example, rather than making broad, unfalsifiable claims (like "society always maintains stability"), sociologists could propose specific predictions that could be tested against evidence, such as "
crime rates rise when unemployment increases." By moving towards such testable statements, sociology could meet the criteria for scientific inquiry.>>
