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. 

The absurdity of religion

There is one inherent absurdity of believing in one, and only one, religion.

If there is one true religion, then the rest are false. Ergo, all other not-religions are heresy.

Any religion that is not your religion is not-religion because it is not your one true religion.


Therefore, the odds are your religion is heresy since it is outnumbered by many others.

The set of all not-religions is the set including all not-your religions and your religion.  So Christianity is included in the set not-Buddhism. The negation of your religion is the rest of the Venn diagram.  

But how does any one find out which is true?
