Group, MBellemare, Marcos, all. Sorry for my confusion about your vocabulary rules. My mistake.
competing paradigms…[manifest]… different worlds. [Each is] looking at the world, and what they look at has not changed. But …they see different things, and they see them in different relations one to the other. Before they can hope to communicate fully, one…or the other…must experience a paradigm shift. It is a transition between incommensurables [and] the transition between competing paradigms cannot be made a step at a time, forced by logic. Like the gestalt switch, it must occur all at once (though not necessarily in an instant) or not at all…The transfer of allegiance from paradigm to paradigm is a conversion experience that cannot be forced. Conversion will occur a few at a time until, after the last holdouts have died, [and then] the whole [society]…will again be…under a single, but now a different, paradigm.
And as I like to say, "some only turn towards verity, grudgingly and with much anguish!"
yeah, sorry I guess I just didn't understand the whole trick to redefining a collection of commodities based only on the change in government to call them "material objects in a general store". We can easily fix all my arguments at once with just a search and replace. So if I just replace do a find on any time I wrote the words "commodities" and replace that with "what would be called commodities in a capitalist system but are now called material objects after a hypothetical someday worldwise socialist revolution" then would that be ok? ps. After launch of my project we're going to call all commodities "people goods" I think it's just better phrasing. There are no material objects or commodities in my econnomy and there is only "people goods". if you can't underatand that then you don't really understand my ideas.
