I mentioned formal education only because I thought it would be a common response. I did think your "knowledge" connotation is close to how we think of formal education.
From your extended discussion I imagine you would really enjoy Robert Pirsig's books (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and Lila: An Inquiry Into Morals). He delves strongly into related topics. I liked Zen more than Lila, maybe too much 'telling-not-showing' in Lila.
