31st January Musings

I read something about "The stages of reading " and there was something that stood out to me, it said that at a point, you make value judgement on a piece based on previous knowledge.

Which led me to think, how do you use your base knowledge when you dont actively seek it. I am not claiming to be all knowledgeable but i like to think i know enough to make value judgement on things i hear and not take them as gospel without cross referencing whether or not it agrees with my previous information.

Having base knowledge does not implicitly mean what you know is true and correct, instead what ut means is that you have a starting point, a point from which you can see things that people without that baseline knowledge cant.

The times have never been more favourable for building baseline knowledge, you quite literally can prompt an AI to give you information about virtually anything you want to know, except illegal things obviously. But, i suppose the point i am trying to pass across is "knowledge is power ", i dont mean it in the primitive way but if you truly think about it, the world runs on knowledge.
