Knowledge

[pljames]

I love knowledge (to know). But since there is a universe of knowledge be it empirical or other, how can we know it (knowledge) is common sense common logic or rational? By studying the pasts history maybe we can understand it’s relatedness to our past and present understanding? Is there another way to understand it? Do the words which associated with it help us to understand it better or just believe it? Does asking questions or having doubt create more questions and doubt? I love to write and share my thoughts with others because I learn at the same time.

Knowledge can be good or bad. Does common sense common logic and rational reasoning really help or is there another way to understand? Feedback please. pljames

Knowledge can be good or bad.

It depends what you’re talking about.
Widespread knowledge of how to synthesize certain substances for instance can be extremely dangerous.
But I don’t think knowledge can be bad in itself.

Common sense is often wrong.
Logic, rationality and critical thinking are the best way to understand the world.
