Knowledge is a familiarity with someone or something, which can include facts, information, descriptions, or skills acquired through experience or education. It can refer to the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. It can be implicit (as with practical skill or expertise) or explicit (as with the theoretical understanding of a subject); it can be more or less formal or systematic. Knowledge acquisition involves complex cognitive processes: perception, communication, association and reasoning; while knowledge is also said to be related to the capacity of acknowledgment in human beings. Why is it good to spread knowledge? We would all want to be knowledgeable. For any society to progress, people should be knowledgeable since knowledge prepares them to meet challenges in life, to solve problems, appreciate the past and anticipate the future with confidence and hope. The human race cannot progress without knowledge. Knowledge is what allows us to advance to a better life. Without the ability to collect, organize, and pass down knowledge then we as a race would not be at the technologicl and, more importantly, medical advancement that we are today. We would stil only live into our 30s or 40s, plaques and illness in gerneral would be rampant. Knowledge is the key to success. Without knowledge, we could not accomplish much in life. The more knowledgable you are in a particular field, the more money you are worth to a particular company, hence you'll be paid more. With out information I couldnt live my life the way I do, couldn't have fun and could live my life the way I want. Everybody knows that magicians keep secrets. What isn't understood is why magicians keep secrets. Some people think magicians do it to make it seem like they are smarter, that they have some special knowledge that most people don't have. In a sense that is true and there are some magicians who walk around deluding themselves that they are somehow better for possessing this knowledge. In many expressions of Christianity, such as Catholicism and Anglicanism, knowledge is one of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. he Old Testament's tree of the knowledge of good and evil contained the knowledge that separated Man from God: "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evilGǪ" (Genesis 3:22) The simple truth is that without secrets there would be no magic. Magicians do tricks; most of the times with physical objects and sometimes with your thoughts. These tricks create an illusion. I describe an illusion as where your eyes tell you one thing but your brain tells you another. You see it happening with your eyes but your mind tells you it can't be real but you are still seeing it with your eyes. A terrific magician named Whit Hayden describes this as being hoisted on the horns of a dilemma. When you are in this sudden state of confusion between your eyes and your mind, this is what I describe as magic. Magic to me is a feeling, that moment you let out a little gasp when your world has just for a second been turned upside down, that moment you think to yourself, 'how is that possible?' The reality is that the trick you are witnessing is most times achieved by a few simple methods and techniques put together and presented by someone who knows how to decieve you with a smile on their face. Magic tricks as you know them are not created by some secret law of physics that only magicians and NASA scientists know about. Most people are so let down when they find out how a trick is done. "You're kidding me, is that all there is to it?!' is a common response. So do you see that telling people how it is done you are destroying the magic that exists in their minds. Verbal communication lends itself to the spread of falsehoods much more so than written, as there is no record of exactly what was said or who originally said it (usually neither the source nor the content can be verified). Gossip and rumors are common examples. As to value of writing, the extent of human knowledge is now so great that it is only possible to record it and to communicate it through writing. Major libraries today can have millions of books of knowledge (in addition to works of fiction). It is only recently that audio and video technology for recording knowledge have become available and the use of these still requires replay equipment and electricity. Verbal teaching and handing down of knowledge is limited to those few who would have contact with the transmitter person - far too limited for today's world. Writing is still the most available and most universal of all forms of recording and transmitting knowledge. It stands unchallenged as mankind's primary technology of knowledge transfer down through the ages and to all cultures and languages of the world. I always hear stories from people that for years they have been wanting to find out how a trick was done and when they eventually do find out they almost always wish that they had never been told. Intelligence has been defined in many different ways including, but not limited to, abstract thought, understanding, self-awareness, communication, reasoning, learning, having emotional knowledge, retaining, planning, and problem solving. The magic has disappeared. That other reason magicians keep secrets is that magic demands that there is the element of surprise. You are not sure where the trick is leading and then voila! It is the same as jokes; the first time they are funny because the punch line comes as a surprise. Rarely do we get to laugh at a joke the second time around. So if a magician is keeping their work secret from you, then quietly thank them because they are doing you a big favour. If you have magic knowledge, keep most of it to yourself. |
