Always appreciate your efforts! Really awesome job!
It's really impressive to realize how those famous theorists in the same generation echo each other, even without direct influence. Contrary to the video, it seems to me that Kuhn's paradigm and Foucault's episteme had a shared idea on the level of discourse, rather than that the former concerned merely about the theory and perception. When Kuhn talked about the notion of "incommensurable", I think it quite well corresponds to Foucault's idea.
"Language is a virus, as well as knowledge", on the other hand, makes me associate with further STS study. Michel Callon once said that “[T]his orthodox view (the quest for the universal) has been seriously challenged by scientific research and, above all, by the historians of science. Two things should not be mixed together: the mechanisms and procedures that lead to scientific experiments during which knowledge is falsified, and the conditions of and transportability of this same knowledge. [Cette vision orthodoxe (la quête de l’universel) a été sérieusement ébranlée par les recherches sur les sciences et au premier chef par les historiens des sciences. Il ne faut pas confondre deux choses : les mécanismes et les procédures qui conduisent à des épreuves au cours desquelles sont testés des savoirs, et les conditions de validité et de transportabilité de ces mêmes savoirs (Callon, M. (1999), pp.73. Ni intellectuel engagé, ni intellectuel dégagé: la double stratégie de l'attachement et du détachement. Sociologie du Travail, 41(1), 65-78. doi:doi.org/10.1016/S0038-0296(99)80005-3).]
Therefore, I think both Foucault and most of the STS researchers won’t agree that there’s universal knowledge, but as a local artifact that not only requires some human conditions to be produced but also rely on a fully functional social network to spread out by imitation. And it’s true that from here, we can see some similarity between knowledge and virus!
