This is a piece I'm reading right now, had to share.
Knowledge is fundamental to who we are, but routines blind us to knowledge. Conventional knowledge can be seen in the light of possibility for higher knowledge, with which we already have experience. Step by step knowledge could teach us knowledge, We could pursue questions in a new way, not just to accumulate information and ideas, but to learn who we really are and what we can do with our lives.
This knowledge of who we are is the real knowledge we seek. To pursue it, we have to develop our ability to question; We have to find the knowledge within models, visions, and ideals. It all depends on inquiry.
In the history of knowledge, technology has now come to the fore. The result is tom make knowledge constantly change, encouraging us to ignore the past; a further to result is to make knowledge homogenous. But whether this is the best knowledge is open to open to doubt. New possessions, advances in science, or even better health and longer lives may mean little if we lack the knowledge to choose our actions wisely, with a full understanding of their consequences.
The value of the results technological knowledge yields is not a valid question for knowledge. The technological model divides the objective world of reslults frm the subjective world of personal conviction and concern, where knowledge simply does not apply. Since issues of value and meaning, fit into the subjective real, they recede from view as possible subjects knowledge or topics of public discourse. In such circumstances, what is meaningless comes to the fore by default.
