I know that most knowledge filters in place today do not take into account everyone. Instead we are shown limited subsets of knowledge filtered by small groups. Library's are one example, where the librarian has traditionally been the filter, One person filtering for all.

We must all become each others librarians, and I believe that we are.


I have no doubt that you sincerely believe what you are saying. And it's possible that where you live, you have had knowledge filtered to your detriment. A more likely situation is that you, yourself, are filtering out the knowledge that you need.

Being kind I would say that you don't, yet, know what you need to know. No matter how fervently you feel about the subject. The premise that you've put forth shows your lack of understanding. Time may take care of that.

Another way of putting it, is that even if you know that it's possible to bench press 800 pounds you can't do it until you are prepared to do it. Knowing it is not the same as being able to do it.


And I know that most knowledge filters in place today do not take into account everyone.? Death is the only thing that takes everyone into it's "account". Even under force, people are not homogeneous and of one thought.
