If I didn't expend synaptic activity, I would end up like the RMC Clock Tower in 1991.

To understand Thomas Kuhn is to understand science
If you don't know who Thomas Kuhn was, then you are missing a vital piece of knowledge when it comes to #science.
If you are a #scientist +scientist, #science #journalist, #scientific historian, and so on, and have never read The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, then you don't know much about your own field. You may write articles and submit grant proposals, but that's the external mechanics of how science operates. Thomas Kuhn wrote about the dirty, messy, underbelly of the inner game of science, how people are tribal and refuse to accept better ideas, how most scientists are normal scientists, and only a few work in abnormal science ( the kind of work that leads to paradigm shifts - his idea) that revolutionizes what we know, and more.
