I have been pondering over all the different ways in which people place importance on "truth" and how they know what they know. There are so many schools of thought and different ways to think about things. Some turn to philosophy, others turn to the misguided and seriously misunderstood concept of "science". The best I could do was to offer the following metaphor in the form of a joke:
How many people does it take to change a light bulb?
The mathematician reaches for his calculator
The physicist conducts thought experiments
The philosopher says “good question is this an answer?”
The no change no fee practitioner needs to know the bulb is ready for change
The Kunhian constructivist says You're still thinking in terms of 'incremental change'--what we really need is paradigm shift
The psychologist says "define people"
The new code practitioner asks "what is the bulbs intention?"
Bateson wonders why “not”?
Then Darwin says it is not the strongest of the bulbs that survive, nor the most intelligent it is the one most adaptable to change ☺
