I found a copy of &quot;The Structure of Scientific Revolutions&quot; sticking out of a dumpster when I was in college, grabbed it, and read it.<p>It was surprisingly enjoyable, and surprisingly personally influential. I ended up spending a lot of time thinking about what it was in the human brain that caused this pattern of &#x27;normal science&#x27; versus &#x27;revolutionary science&#x27; to be stable—and it was time well spent, I think.
