First of all, I hope everything is well with Leif Dahlberg, who was the first person to welcome us to Media Technology at KTH. I feel he managed to inspire us all to study this program, something that has turned out to be filled with both courses built upon layers of logic (mathematics, programming, etc.) as well as courses filled with creativity and not necessarily 'statements of facts'.
Although it would have been good to further discuss this week's theme in the seminar groups and lectures, I feel like it has also been a good opportunity to think about these subjects on my own while reading fellow students' blog posts.
A lot of people, myself included, are quite puzzled by the choice to read 100-year-old philosophical pieces. However, as this course in essence is a preparation for the master thesis, I feel like credibility, bias and good research can benefit from the notion of sense-data (as all blog posts have pointed out) data being perceived by sense, and that logic and 'facts' are ultimately artificial things that are created by people. As I wrote before, one must consider who is given the mandate of credibility, given this point of view of knowledge being built in layers.
That being said, I'm looking forward to learn about concrete methods about how to conduct scientific research in further themes.
