Free Range Model Comparisons

Comparing models is fundamental to all science, for example, Newtonian vs. Einsteinian (Physics), Uniformitarianism vs. Catastrophism (Geology), and Specialized vs. Generalized brain areas (Neuroscience).

Model comparison implies your current patterns of thoughts (i.e., a paradigm) could be replaced with different patterns of thought that better fit the world-as-is (i.e., the data). Just opening the door to that possibility is powerful (and scary).

Imagine a world with that potential for openness in all aspects of life.
