This is great, thanks! One quibble: the statement that no-one has read Kuhn. My impression is very different. This may be a question of social circles, but I'd expect most people moderately interested in how science is done to have seriously engaged with Kuhn.

That may be pure personal projection! I read him as an undergraduate, but I seem to have missed the point, because when I re-read the book a few months ago, it was quite different from what I remembered.

Interesting. Naturally makes me wonder if I missed the point! Though from your account I don't think I did. Looking forward to reading some of your other suggestions.

I was probably too young and inexperienced to make understand it. One has to have seen intellectual approaches fail before meta-rationality can start to make sense.

Appreciate your self-critical reflection, BTW. Among other things, it helps me make more sense of how people could engage with Kuhn.

I like the succinct self-description, of not having "seen [deep, promising] intellectual ideas fail". And realized that it generalizes elsewhere.

Ah, yes! Related: the failure modes of DL do seem to illuminate how and why it does work when it (impressively) does.
