Approach 2 Knowledge

Form and substance are both separate aspects of material things. If either is missing, the entity living, dead or never sentient is not viable. If the lattice structure of our current belief system is fraying into a significant paradigm change (aka Galileo, Newton or Einstein, then assessing truth will require significant effort to divorce embedded assumptions which protect ideas, laws and theories from specific scrutiny prior to adoption. That is assuming that knowledge seeks truth, which is one of those embedded assumption i dislike.

Thus i offer the immersion theory of learning: With no specific knowledge, but a general comprehension of basic rules, a group of individuals planted into a situation will respond to any stimulus with an action that seeks the best outcome for the individual members of the group. Thus, by observing the reaction and reporting accurate numerical count information for statistical purpose (non-content basis*), a non-linear regression of thought can be built to digest new information, where analysis of the information over time should provide a stimulus-response curve built upon expertise.

In point of fact, what i just said almost describes the TV show survivor. The system today has become a game where every individual is at risk of becoming an enemy of the state - like Gene Hackman and Will Smith. If no individual comes forward as a target, the powers that be entertain themselves by picking off their own, offering the sacrifice of a scooter of the day, the guy who doesn't happen to have a place to put his hand on the bat grip. Tis a pity...

*Each unit requires specific content. Where the content originates, how it is collected, the methodology and quality assurance are all significant features, but are not germane at all to the understanding of the ultimate reality, the natural law conceptualization that will allow us the functions of governance without the hierarchical baggage system.
