> That was one of the best wall of texts I've read since I joined this site.

I'm glad you think so!

> One being the simplest question, what is a fallibilists take on life (how we got here, why we are here, etc.)?

Fallibilism shows us that life is the survival of genetic knowledge. The only requirements for life are energy, matter, and evidence. These three things let it encode information, so life can occur anywhere and in any form as long as these three things are present.

As far as the purpose of life goes, fallibilism shows that purpose, like value, is entirely subjective. If you find meaning in having a purpose, you can easily give yourself one.

> My second question is who are some philosophers I could read up on regarding fallibilism?

I suggest reading up on Karl Popper (free PDF). and David Deutsch's The Beginning of Infinity.

> My final question is almost unrelated, but I just began teaching myself piano, do you have any tips that will further my skill?

Haha, just follow the problem-solving method... Be your own worst critic, be picky when identifying problems with your skills, practice only when you're energized to try new things (instead of a strict schedule), and have fun! Play what you want to play.

I'm working on a theory of music (for any instrument, not just piano) that can help explain how I understand music, and it's still somewhat difficult for me to explain it in clear terms, but I'll give it a shot. To summarize, I break down music into its "harmonic", "rhythmic", and "dynamic" aspects. The harmonic aspect has to do with relative pitch, or "intervals" that sound good. The rhythmic aspect has to do with the relative timing of sounds that sound good. The dynamic aspect has to do with the relative "weight", or "emphasis" between sounds that sound good.

Fallibilism shows us that there is an objective truth, even in aesthetics. Since it would take us an infinite amount of time and resources to discover absolute truth, we must settle for discovering objective truths through the indefinite growth of knowledge instead.
