If You Know, You Know!

In a recent episode of Perilous World Radio, host David Masters delves into the distinction between "knowing" and "knowledge." He emphasizes that knowing involves a deeper, more intimate understanding, a concept rooted in its Latin origins. While people can possess a vast amount of knowledge, it's not always meaningful or practical; much of it can be superficial or irrelevant.

Masters points out that traditional education often includes a lot of "throwaway information," which may not hold lasting value. He highlights the rapid advancements in technology, particularly AI, and how they are reshaping education. The notion that educational curricula need to be frequently updated is underscored, with references to the once-significant investments made in printed textbooks. He cites Greg Gutfeld's observation that, thanks to the internet and AI, one can acquire more knowledge in an hour online than in an entire day at school. Ultimately, Masters insists that much of the knowledge we have today is often not worth retaining.
