As we are entering into a new paradigm in the midst of the world’s pandemic, we see a huge change happening and all I have written yesterday already seems obsolete.
A paradigm is a basic set of principles believed by the scientific community. When there is a revolutionary change in these beliefs, it is called a paradigm shift.
A paradigm shift, a concept identified by the American physicist and philosopher Thomas Kuhn, is a fundamental change in the basic concepts and experimental practices of a scientific discipline. Kuhn presented his notion of a paradigm shift in his influential book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962).
A New Level of Thinking Albert Einstein observed:
“The Significant Problems We Face Cannot Be Solved At The Same Level Of Thinking We Were At When We Created Them.”
The most significant shift is from the geocentric world view to the heliocentric world view. The geocentric model states that the Sun and the planets move around the Earth. The heliocentric model has the Sun in the center, and the Earth orbits the Sun. Sure, the textbooks all say that the solar system is heliocentric.
Paradigms are powerful because they create the lens through which we see the world. It’s like a light that is lit and all of a sudden there is the aha moment.
When there is a new insight you cannot continue learning things the old way by cramming our memory with endless useless information.
New insights bring new light and open up more possibilities and abilities for us as a human being. Even while society isn’t conscious yet of the change, or don’t want to spend the money and energy they keep going and ignoring the change. They still try to cram us through the old school, but if you realize the road map has changed from North to South to East to West you will find ourselves at a roadblock. And no matter how hard we try to overcome the roadblock, if society doesn’t follow, it becomes hardship.
