A paradigm shift, a concept brought into the common lexicon by the American physicist and philosopher Thomas Kuhn, is a fundamental change in the basic concepts and experimental practices of a scientific discipline. Even though Kuhn restricted the use of the term to the natural sciences, the concept of a paradigm shift has also been used in numerous non-scientific contexts to describe a profound change in a fundamental model or perception of events.
Thank you for posting this! The vast number of people who use this term have never heard of Kuhn or read "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions." I read it in college but have given up on saying, "This doesn't mean just any old change to any old thing for any old reason."
It was the leftist, liberal new age types who first started misusing the term, apparently with no understanding of it at all.
A Paradigm shift is going on right now.

When the cognitive dissonance is so thick, they can't comprehend a word you're saying. They need a paradigm shift.
The jolt to the head gets the blood moving in ways they never thought possible.

The Paradigm Shift is a good move, but when I’m changing the minds of blue pillers I stick with old favorites like the Suplex and DDT.
