Talk:How you know
This discussion is related to
| [[WE#{{{header}}}]] | Who you are
What you know. Who you are a child of. Who you know. |
In the case of
Who you are 'equating to'
- What you know.
- Who you are a child of.
- Who you know.
Should we not include
- How we know?
After all, if WE fail to learn We fail to earn
I do not believe it does matter how you know. For example, you could spend 8 years getting higher degrees, or just pay an off-shore university $250 to grant you a PhD. Studies of "earned" degrees, "for sale" degrees, and false degrees have shown the actual earning power is the same. Monetarily speaking, it only matters that you have the letters for your company forms, not that you actually learned anything. Or were you speaking of something else? ---StarPilot
as an InformationPhysicist, how I know is all imporant. -- JimScarver
Is it really important in all things that you know? Or is it only important to be able to defend what you know (for peer reviews and such), and how you came to your conclusions (useful for spreading your knowledge and derivative conclusions to others/teaching)? I know that causing harm to others is a bad thing if it isn't a necessary requirement to protect those I care about. How do I know? Because I think everyone should not be interfered with unnecessarily, especially not in their living TheGoodLife. But does it matter how I learned this? Whether I learned it in a book, or came to this conclusion through simple living and observing what enables people (including myself) to try and live TheGoodLife, and what interferes with being able to do so?
I can try to spread my belief that we shouldn't interfere with each other in a negative way all I like. Where that thought came from is unimportant, as it is not of a scientific matter; rather, it is a philosophic or ethical matter. In science, we examine the theories, the underlieing theories, and the data, to see if there are any flaws (ie, data that doesn't support the theory or hypothesis, or that the underlieing hypothesi have not been "disproven"). In everything else, people don't really care about the underlying facts or theories, only if it "feels" right to them. So, in all things non-scientific in nature, it really doesn't matter how we know what we know. It only matters how we feel about it, and how we can get others to feel similarly. --StarPilot
