WHAT’S YOUR OPINION OF KUHNs SoSR?
(from James Santagata) (copied for archival purposes)
GREAT QUESTION!
I think that he tried to complete popper’s program (despite poppers usual nonsense objections).
Popper basically showed us that science is a MORAL process, and that it was a process of removing error, bias, (and deceit) from free associations. This eliminated the problem of induction by saying that no method of discovery of a candidate association conveys truth in and of itself, only survival (darwinian knowledge) from criticism.
That as a moral process, science is conducted SOCIALLY like other moral processes. I expanded this to say that we can create legal tests of information (due diligence) just as we have for all other criteria, that warrant information just as we do goods and services. this is in fact how science is largely conducted today – but it is not how political speech is conducted today – and it should be.
Kuhn simply addresses the issue of scale, and he illustrated the resistance to innovation of entrenched programs because of scale – a sort of punctuated equilibrium of discovery similar to Gould’s. IN other words, scientific knowledge progresses like all other normative, traditional, and legal knowledge.
He is a precursor to Taleb’s attempt to discover the amount of information necessary to predict outliers.
He is a precursor to my attempt to predict the unit of intelligence necessary to determine a relation given n units of information.
So my view is that he was making very general statements – moral statements – but he was not, like popper, able to, as did hayek, transform their observations of constant relations of the hard sciences to the inconstant relations of the social sciences: particularly philosophy, sociology, economics, politics, and law.
That was my job it seems.

PHILOSOPHICAL MEANING, MEMORY, AND DECIDABILITY CAN BE CONVEYED BY: The spectrum
PHILOSOPHICAL MEANING, MEMORY, AND DECIDABILITY CAN BE CONVEYED BY:
The spectrum from:
the scientific, to
the logical, to
the rational, to
the moral, to
the historical, to
the literary, to
the mythical, to
the religious, to
the occult, to
the new age, to
the dream-state.
as:
decreasing information,
decreasing precision of decidability,
increasing scope (more general rule), and
ease of memory (remembering), and
increasing dependence upon introspection and experience.
from the Objective Calculative <—- to —–> the Subjective Intuitive.
Because that’s what humans CAN do.
And therefor it is what they MUST do.
Narrative structures of all kinds assist in memory formation.
Emotional loading and framing assists in memory formation.
Spirituality (elation from the pack response) assists in memory formation.
CAN you portray the same messages at each increasingly substitutive (associative) and decreasingly objective (pure) stage of transition? Sure. It’s an art. It’s the difference between science and poetry. What’s the difference? Meaning is harder to convey and retain without the subjective associations. And error, bias, and wishful thinking are harder to prevent because of the subjective associations.
Ergo, any COMPLETE and DURABLE, INTER-GENERATIONALLY TRANSFERRABLE philosophical system of decidability requires restatement in division of the spectrum from the objective and calculative, to the subjective and intuitionistic.
If for no other reason than childhood narrative pedagogy is more influential than late age calculative knowledge.

Actually this bit of typical mises institute drivel gave me an excellent vehicle for a point by point explanation of Propertarianism
USEFUL READ FOR ALL.

consciousness consists in our experience of the recursive effect of constinuous perception’s causation of searches and short term memory, and the ‘persistence of vision’ of short term memory.
What I am unclear about is how we ‘focus’ on choosing between search results.

The Puritans are the result of the failure of protestantism.
The classical liberals are the result of the failure of the enlightenment.
We, in our era, are the result of the failure of 20th century philosophers and social sciences to complete the enlightenment, and to unify philosophy, law and science, and return us to Roman and Stoic Realism: Natural Law.
We didn’t ‘get it’. It wasn’t Aristotle that mattered, as much as the stoics, natural law, and the common law. Everything else was a byproduct of Indo European Sovereignty’s dependence for existence on the empirical, natural, common law.
