Hoskins Considers His Options

The Structure Of Scientific Revolutions
By Thomas Kuhn was very well received
By those for whom reality is just
A paradigm by which it is perceived.
This nonsense predates science and belongs
More properly to Plato than to rigour
For there is nothing either true or false
But thinking makes it so; and thus the bigger
The lie the more it will be seen as true,
Relatively speaking, in the round:
The premises prescribe, and fancy follows;
Thanks to the mind, what’s lost is always found.
Or so I thought, aboard the morning train
From Waterloo to Fleet, via Farnborough (Main).
