what seems ENDED
Typically for blackart, Kuhn points to
XI) The Invisibility of Revolutions
to side-track from the bloody trail of science#2:
Because paradigm shifts are generally viewed not as revolutions but as additions to scientific knowledge,
and because the history of
the field is represented in the new textbooks that accompany a new paradigm, a scientific revolution
seems invisible.
The image of creative scientific activity is largely created by a field's textbooks. Textbooks
are the pedagogic vehicles for the
perpetuation of normal science. These texts become the authoritative source of the history
of science. Both the layman's and the
practitioner's knowledge of science is based on textbooks. A field's texts must be rewritten in the
aftermath of a scientific revolution.
Once rewritten, they inevitably disguise not only the role but the existence and significance of
the revolutions that produced
them (filtered by the metaphor-, ego- and story telling taboo), unlike the Bible!
The resulting textbooks truncate the scientist's
sense of his discipline's history and supply a substitute for what they eliminate
; unlike the Bible, whose history ends with the Holy
Spirit, who in the C3-MOS allows a genuine mental evolution, science#2 has so far in vain tried to
set back. More often than not,
the history suggested by science#2 contains very little history at all. In the rewrite, earlier scientists
are represented as having
worked on the same set of fixed problems and in accordance with the same set of fixed canons that the
most recent revolution and
method has made seem scientific. Why dignify what science's best and most persistent efforts have
made it possible to discard?
The historical reconstruction of previous paradigms and theorists in scientific textbooks make the
history of science look linear or
cumulative, a tendency that even affects scientists looking back at their own research . These
misconstructions render the real
nature of revolutions; reactionary movements to restore science#2, invisible to most people thus
leaving them condemned to lead a
personally neutral life. They also work to
deny revolutions as a function
. Science textbooks present the inaccurate view that science
has reached its present state by a series of individual discoveries (ego-taboo) and inventions
that, when gathered together,
constitute the modern body of technical knowledge - the addition of bricks to a building. This piecemeal-discovered
facts approach
of a textbook presentation illustrates the pattern of historical mistakes (metaphor-taboo) that
misleads both students and laymen
(story-telling-taboo) about the nature of the scientific enterprise. More than any other single
aspect of science, the textbook has
determined our image of the nature of science and of the role of discovery and invention in its advance.
So today, scientists#2 such as Kuhn are so much convinced of the victory of science#2 that they
openly discuss their incredible
crimes against humanity; misleading people into mental chaos which they then turn into the real
chaos of the real revolutions
science#2 embellishes for us to bear them, e.g. so that we do not learn the science#3 lessons from them,
while they wash their hands
in innocence and appear as the solutions for the problem THEY are! In fact they misuse MAT 12:31 "Every
sin or blasphemy can be
forgiven - except
blasphemy against the Holy Spirit
, which can never be forgiven" for their purpose and their punishment is
organizing the mobbing of those who shed light into their blackart as scapegoats for their blunder;
mind you it is not a failure, for
that is what they identify with.
