Punch Line to What Is Knowledge

  • I don’t remember where the original idea came from, but it could be improved by Hyerle’s concepts.
    • They are not unique. I had and read about some thoughts on how real learning happens, via reinforced learning.
      • When the agent receives feedback from the system it operates in.
    • I think the same is true for knowledge construction.
  • To receive feedback from the system, we actually need to define the system. It’s the first, most important step.
    • What actions are allowed, what is forbidden, and why.
    • How separate elements of the system are connected and what ripple effects might happen with something, like incremental changes.
  • What we all should consider is that note-taking is a system of thinking.
    • A system with several connected elements:
      • Sources.
      • Tools.
      • Mind.
    • Into the note-taking system, a feedback loop must be built.
      • To test ideas and their effects over time.
    • The key is to see any knowledge acquisition as an ongoing process with several stages, and knowledge processing as a feedback loop.
      • Knowledge is not generated in a vacuum. The book provides a specific context and ideas, but a person transforms letters on paper into actual knowledge and actionable elements, thus constructing personal meaning and a unique view on the studied concept.

The original idea from 2021

And as a punch line, what is knowledge to a modern man? It’s obviously different thing. We don’t use knowledge in a same sense as previous generation has been using it.

Researchers from 17-18 centuries had looked into theoretical questions, such as how does the world work? Modern scientists also ask this kind of questions, but they are outnumbered by those who are seeking practical application of the knowledge.
