I totally agree. Let's not overcomplicate things, right? By that I mean I stood the chance of overcomplicating things by calling the changes in behavior due to the dying overarching paradigm by the name "smaller paradigms". But I suppose, buy the strict definition of paradigm, we could say that there are personal paradigms that belong to the people inside the larger paradigm, right? But anyway, this is all semantics, I think we are saying the same thing.

I totally agree with all that you have said, no matter what terminology you and I are using that may differ. Remember that Capra mentioned the idealistic paradigm, which was a balance of the ideational paradigm type and the sensate paradigm type, if I am not mistaken. I wonder if there is evidence of such a paradigm emerging?
