I found Otter’s explanation of Kuhn’s work insightful. Kuhn’s work is very dry, like Otter mentioned, and difficult to really understand at a superficial level. I like to think that like his work, his thoughts and ways of communicating them are at a deeper level of complexity. I liked his mention of where the word “scientist” came from because it just seems interesting that we have all these new ideas with that replaced previous ones but we have no recollection of the making of common words we use everyday. I am a little off-stricken by the fact that some people can invest their entire lively-hoods for a mere fraction of a billionth of a step to possibly progress a paradigm. I like to think that the paradigms are slowly adding building blocks and progressing on their individual developments but the honest truth (no pun intended) is that we will never solve the entire paradigm or even discover all the potential ones. Its like running as fast and far as you can but only ever moving in place or like a puzzle with every piece missing but one. It seems pointless to me to venture on a path like this because so many people will want to disprove your work or are so narrow-minded on their own beliefs that any progress would barely have an impact. Although it is interesting how far we have come, with conflicting debates on what is justified as a “truth”, some mysterious must be accepted as a mystery and that is what I believe to be another paradigm truth. Acceptance of the unknown.
