forum for week of 14 Nov: when we don't want knowledge
Fragment of a discussion from Course talk:PHIL240/2011WT1-section2
"Information is not knowledge" -Albert Einstein
From this context, I would agree there are very few things that we would do which can be considered knowledge.
An example I can give would be video games. There is a large amount of perceiving, thinking and conjecturing involved - but is the aim to acquire knowledge?
Some might argue that to beat the game/win - one requires "knowledge".
I personally feel in this instance it is not knowledge but "information"
