  1. Thomas Kuhn was born OTD in 1922.

    Historicity—over revolutions and paradigms—was core to his thought.

    “History, if viewed as a repository for more than anecdote or chronology, could produce a decisive transformation in the image of science by which we are now possessed.”

  3. Vilfredo Pareto was born OTD in 1848. His most famous quote is:

    "Give me a fruitful error any time, full of seeds, bursting with its own corrections. You can keep your sterile truth for yourself."

    But he never said it: quoteinvestigator.com/2024/08/02/f...

  32. Babbage would later use a model of the Difference Engine to show that what we perceive as miracles are better understood as consequences of laws of nature we don’t fully understand. He proposed the origin of new species of plants and animals as an example of this. #HistSTM 🐋🌱🧪 #PhilSci

  34. I read some papers on 'automating science' (I prefer 'automation in science') and (worse) 'AI scientists'.
    Someone should write a paper on their implicit assumptions regarding the nature of science!
    Some observations:
    - there is no awareness of fallibility or how to deal errors, which is an ongoing process essential to science;
    - I fear that the 'loop' in science they're trying to close is 'the scientific method', which is a myth;
    - they sure like to use the term 'alien' for new things.
