Thank you for the way the paradigm is brought out.
In some areas, paradigms are required when it comes to societal norms, ethics, values, etc. Yes, when problem-solving, etc., are involved, paradigms need to be diluted. After all, right from the day the child is born, paradigms fill the mind and heart of the child without the child being aware of them.
But who prevents the child from critically evaluating those paradigms when it matures and becomes an adult and the entire thinking mechanism is in full force? So, paradigm or no paradigm, reality is to be seen in its total perspective. We cannot pose such questions to a person who is struggling for his stomach day in and day out.
What we are looking at in the concept of paradigm is the ability of that segment of the population in the country to steer through the paradigm for their enhancement in the so-called paradigm of LIFE, if I am allowed to put it. Please ponder over.
