Is it when adam and eve ate the apple of knowledge?
Is it when iron was discovered?
Is it when apes began to wonder?
Or is it just natural, it was there all along but he did not oberve himself. As the philosopher Heraclitus claims.
Or what?
my vote is with or what, definitely, or what
Trick question. No such thing as knowledge. Imp must be busy living an actual life, or I never would have beat him. Nice try. Pay your two bits and try again.
f
where did knowledge first begin? for me?or for humanity? what kind of knowledge? awareness is prerequisite to any knowledge, what can i learn if i’m unconcious?
so knowledge first began with awareness and experiance.(knowledge of self and environment) and evolves every day till you die.
Is that the answer for both. For you and humanity?
Basically knowledge came around when language developed as before that knowledge would be for the most part - internal and thus a thought or opinion rather than anything else.
Some claim language was the result of the introduction of magic mushrooms into the diet of our pre-human ancestors as they crossed a certain place (forget where). The mental stimulation was enough to give birth to a collective sound system that was ‘agreed’ upon during this momentary dip into that sort of universal connection. ----> The theory is weak, especially when compared with the author’s other… ambitious theories but it’s interesting nonetheless.
Knowledge began when the first unanimated thing became an animated being
the knowledge of the existance of myself and my environment began with conciousness. but thats just 2 things you can have awareness of.
so, the 1st knowledge everyone has is knowledge of awareness/ignorance. questions are what we use to try to gain specific knowledge. so knowledge of everything else begins with the processing of sensory stimuli. with language, we attained the ability to learn from other peoples experiance. accelerating our learning curve. i don’t have to do something to know it. although personal experiance is much more vivid.
so,knowledge begins with processing of sensory stimuli, learning is the process of moving from awareness of ignorance to awareness of action and consequences, which results in belief.
as for where humanities knowledge began? ask them
For example?
Can you all give me an example what you’re concepts are talking about?
what can you “know” before you become aware? birth+ experiance=questions questions+memory of experiance=answers and more questions. the more correct answers the more knowledgable you become. how do i know if my answers are right? field test them
it all comes back to experiance. if your information comes from a reliable source, your answers have a better chance of being correct.
what time is it? clock is reliable, my eyes are reliable, i can read, so my answer will be reliable(for my time zone)
Whats your name? nuf said
do you like…? no wrong answer
who invented the printing press? i can be certain of my ignorance.
what is the nature of a human? to sustain life, to experiance(sense), to think, to decide, to die,
what is ‘a’ nature? essential charactoristics
what is the meaning of life? i think that was a practical joke on anyone who reads philosophy. but, the goal of life is to experiance. the particulars are up to whoever does the living.
What is knowledge, but the acknowledgment of simply what is. In which case knowledge has always existed.
You made it clear.
You have to be concious/ aware in order to comprhend. Thus where knowledge begins. Can’t you not be concious and aware, and recieved knowledge?
Is not once the moment you are born you are aware. Even before you were born, was not the baby was aware or concious? For how can cells function if they were not concious?
I think my question was where did knowledge began not what is knowledge.
IF knowledge was eternal, then we already know everything as Heraclitus said. Only by knowing yourself.
Do you believe that knowledge exists that you are unaware of? Sure it does. In fact when we recognize it, we are only speaking of our awareness of it. It had to exist first, prior to our recognition of it.
What kind of knowledge would there be before time?
Or what kind of knowledge is there before we write something on paper?
Ideas?
Why is it so hard to quit ?
I would venture to say all knowledge.
Theres an apple of knowledge? Awsome hook it up.
We only know as much as we need to survive. For example a monkey really has no use for quantum physics(well unless he has asperations of going to the moon, but there arent any trees on the moon). Nor a grass hopper need to know how to pour a glass of milk.
Is instinct not knowledge?
Will there be a time where there is no knowledge?
What is instinct and what is knolwedge? If there is a difference then it is not the same.
I suppose knowledge is to know. Instinct(to survive) is the first type of knowledge I would imagine. Since an being intictively knows how to keep on living, therefore it has some sort of knowledge.
Unless the knowledge we’re talking about starts at the borderline between human intellect and animal intellect?
IF you suppose knowledge is to know. Then you must know knowledge in order to know. In order to know things we have our sensations base on instincts. Instincts must be a tool of finding, and knowledge must be just an object. Therefore, it has to be different.
