Man is constantly forced to take “on faith” the most diverse content that comes to him through various channels: the Internet, television, books, teachers, parents ….
From my point of view, a person’s “knowledge” consists of 99.999999999(9)% of content that he/she has taken “on faith” and mistakenly attributed this content to his/her “knowledge”.
Such “knowledge” can safely include:
- “knowledge” that is obtained by the child during kindergarten education….;
- the majority of “knowledge” that is obtained by a schoolchild during schooling….;
- the vast majority of “knowledge” that a student has acquired while studying at an institute or university….;
- the vast majority of “knowledge” that is gained while socializing with someone;
- etc.
Why does this happen?
Because a person is simply physically incapable of checking everything he has heard, read and seen by his own efforts….
Neither the number of bacteria in his body and their species, nor the structure of DNA, nor the distance to the Sun, nor the temperature on the surface of the Sun and many similar data he can’t check by himself.
When deciding to use content, a person has to “filter” the information coming to him, relying either “on faith”, or on his real knowledge, or on his intuition….
Real knowledge is knowledge based solely on a person’s personal experience. This is the kind of knowledge that was most valued in ancient times and is very valuable today.
Most of today’s young people are sure that if you google, you can always find the answer to any question. And this, unfortunately, is a very deep misconception. The answer can be found, but how much it will correspond to reality – that’s the question….
In our world, which is built on the power of money, much of the content is initially not related to the real life experience of the writer, but to the real fact of getting money for his publication (directly or indirectly).
This has already led to the fact that people do not know the real history of mankind, and can read at best someone’s literary works on the subject, and at worst – just made up by someone’s nonsense, the publication of which led to the receipt of money …
The current situation on planet Earth today looks something like this:
- All those who already control humanity are pre-“preparing” content (changing the content and its delivery to consumers) to provide it to all those who are thirsty.
- All who consume content are obliged to “filter” the incoming content, if only simply to actually survive. Otherwise, by believing mere advertising…..
But today, it seems to me, humanity has chosen a dead-end path of development.
Believe yourself!
I sincerely wish everyone Health in these hard times….
