The anomalies pile up until they can no longer be ignored. The old way of thinking begins to crumble.
The Structure of Scientific Revolutions reminds us that our current "certainties" are likely just the "Normal Science" of today—destined to be the "Old Paradigm" of tomorrow. To stay ahead, we have to stop looking for more rungs on the ladder and start looking for the anomalies that suggest it's time to move the ladder entirely. Here is a look at why Kuhn’s "paradigm
