1:30 Mon. March 2 Origin of Thought
It occurred to me that maybe a lot of people's knowledge could be thoughts extrapolated from tid-bits of information. So its quite possible that much of ones knowledge could be nothing more than a somewhat educated guess. This could lead to bountiful new information and knowledge if the ideas of the person were researched and proved to be true.
10:59 PM Tues. March 3 Philosophy Verse Fact
This kind of goes along the same line as the origin of thought observation. I was watching a program about parallel universes that gave me a fleeting thought. In the program they spoke of many different theories of there being parallel dimensions. I dug fairly deep into a book afterward and mulled over some questions I had come up with; only to find there were not any concrete answers. This is quite obviously due to the fact it was nothing but a theory I questioned. On the surface there seems to be a wealth of knowledge, and there very well is for the ones creating it, but the deeper the layman digs the less he will likely discover. This leads me to the question, can we really use theories to explain the still yet to be explained? Are they philosophy or are they fact?
10:20 AM Wed. March 4 Gained Knowledge
Gaining knowledge is a process humans go though on a daily basis, or at least I hope. It's somewhat difficult to observe a person gaining knowledge, so I can only go off of what I do. I don't think most are quite as skeptic as I am. I usually observe and listen carefully and then try and find an outside source to correspond with a subject before I commit it to memory. After saying that, I think I will ask a question in my interview process about how knowledge is acquired by the person.
