Right.

And you're sort of poking holes in the dam that is the existing paradigm.

You know, Thomas Kuhns wrote a book called The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, and he's often cited as like the preeminent guy when it comes to figuring out, you know, how scientific revolutions occur.

So like one example would be

electromagnetism in the 19th century.

Another example would be the quantum revolution or general relativity in the 20th century.

And in all of the cases, you see this law of declining marginal returns at the end of the paradigm, where you have all of these commentators being like, we're kind of at the end of history.

Like we've written all of the rules of reality, just like there are rules to the game of chess or something.

And we're trying to figure out that last piece.

And then the whole thing just kind of breaks.

And the way it often breaks is the anomalies.

So the anomalies sort of build up, the anomalies don't work within the model.

So they're empirical observations that don't make sense within the given framework.

And those sort of build up, they accumulate, and then the dam just sort of breaks.

And so I think if you kind of are systematically at the forefront of those three things,

I think there's something to all of them, but you don't have to think there's something to all of them.

You could think they're all 50% likely to be true or whatever.

And then in aggregate, you end up with a much higher probability that we're on the verge of some sort of paradigm shift.

Yeah, so I'll give you the modern history of UFOs because you can go way back to, you know, Sanskrit epics talking about Vimanas or, you know, yeah, various wonders in the sky that, you know, Dogon tribe.

Dogon tribe, exactly.
