The Problem with Knowledge (Blog post 1)

Knowledge is everywhere, and there is no denying in that claim. It passes from generations onto generations and changes or varies as it goes throughout time. It can also be lost as it would be out of date or no longer necessary or useful at all. There is no right or wrong, but there is more accurate answer than others in knowledge. There is also bias depending on several factors such as the time the knowledge is given and date the knowledge is given. An example would be with the Vietnam war, the americans never heard of events which made america seem like the villains in the war due to the oppression of media and bias. Knowledge could try to be kept hidden, but since we humans are in a world where we are brought up and know entirely nothing about it having nothing but our minds, it is bound for us to encounter and absorb knowledge that is both shown and kept in the dark. Knowledge could also be inaccurate due to the lack of evidence or facts supported in to make the claim believable and reliable. It all comes down to the person receiving the knowledge if they would agree or disagree with the knowledge and if should they use it or ignore the knowledge. There are still many things that us humans know nothing about since we are such a small planet in our cosmos. However, the more we question every piece of knowledge we are given and use this absence as an option to search out if there is more that we do not know of in a certain subject, then we can proceed onto find more knowledge and hopefully coming to a very strong and accurate annotation of a piece of knowledge. In conclusion, knowledge can be bias, limiting, and is not very accurate simply because there is not enough information that we have attained to come up with a conclusion. This leads to our why’s and how’s of the knowledge that we barely know about yet have attained and been given to from the past. “The sky’s a limit”, an idiom first recorded in 1920. Is the sky still a limit now in late 2016?
