F9: Virtual Reality

IX) The Nature and Necessity of Scientific Revolutions should actually point to the F9=past that has a future basic human substance. But of science#2's course no, Kuhn addresses the basics a science#2 paradigm and thus side-tracks from the bottleneck to science#3: Why should a paradigm change be called a revolution? What are the functions of scientific revolutions in the development of science? How about asking that question about yourself?

A scientific revolution is a non-cumulative developmental episode in which an older paradigm is replaced in whole or in part by an incompatible new one . A scientific#2 revolution that results in paradigm change is analogous to a political revolution. Political revolutions begin with a growing sense by members of the community that existing institutions have ceased adequately to meet the problems posed by an environment that they have in part created. The dissatisfaction with existing institutions is generally restricted to a segment of the political community. Political revolutions aim to change political institutions in ways that those institutions themselves prohibit.

One camp seeks to defend the old institutional constellation. One (or more) camps seek to institute a new political order. As polarization occurs, political recourse fails. Parties to a revolutionary conflict finally resort to the techniques of mass persuasion with Virtual Reality soap opera such as "Big Brother...is watching you through the eye of polical correctness" presented as a c3-man-made C3-substitute which is denounced as subjectivity and/or as too complicated...
