Laudan L: Progress and its Problems: Toward a Theory of Scientific Growth.

The bombardment of light, with its colors and contrasts, helps guide proper eye growth. Studies of resource depletion, such as "The Limits to Growth" of 1972 were attacked and demonized in the 1980s, and then consigned to the dustbin of "wrong" scientific ideas.
