Knowledge is a Spiral of Ignorance
- Knowledge contributes to ignorance
- The more information we absorb the more uncertain and confused we are
- Information overload causes uncertainties not certainties
- The more knowledge we acquire, the more knowledge we need to understand that new knowledge
- Language is linear, one concept at a time.
- Knowledge is non-linear: the more knowledge you acquire, the more knowledge you need to acquire
- Real knowledge arises from multiple interacting factors
- Real knowledge is not static but wildly dynamic
- Knowledge is constantly replaced by questions rather than answers
