Systems of religion and "superstition" are generally how they keep track of an remember a ton of information. Western scientists disregarded their knowledge about the soils, seeds, crops, etc, as superstition bc they talked about it in terms that the scientists didn't understand. They then disregarded the knowledge and fucked tons of shit up, list of sources if you want to investigate is in the comment i made before this one. I am saying unless you are capable of keeping track of all this information, without resorting even once to metaphor or shorthand. Kuhn is a scientist who wrote about science, is the foundation of most of modern understandings of how science works lmao
