Perhaps the greatest contribution of Thomas S. #Kuhn was not that of a #paradigmshift but the notion of #incommensurability, having no common basis for comparison or translation.
He used it to attempt a salvage of #Aristotle and was put in the dustbin with him. Here I attempt a rescue.

It is unusual to want someone's reputation sullied viciously and his work dismissed so badly as to trash someone trying to salvage that brilliant work and that sterling reputation.

Thinking through prompts and rehearsing proper prompts which have a three part structure:
Context statements - orient who/what/where
Theoretical statements - frame ideas and principles for exploration
Actual prompts - direct requests for action

Claude and I have been refining a proper role for #AI in human intellectual life. It is that of a companion, a sounding board for hypotheses in the generation of ideas, a critical ear when properly prompted.
People who do not understand what it's doing always expect too much or too little.
