A Concept I have thought about is corporate knowledge. That is the knowledge of every person alive combined, the "Corporate body of man". As a person grows he is acquiring a little piece of the knowledge. Everything he sees learns and experiences is part of that knowledge. When a person dies that piece of the knowledge is lost.
The job of the teacher is pass on the knowledge he has to keep it for the future. My father had a brilliant mind and was continuing to invent and share his ideas until his death last year in a stupid accident at the age of almost 92. How much was Lost?

Welcome to blogspot! This is a wonderful medium for the exchange of that corporate knowledge of which you speak.
ReplyDeleteOne of the things great about father was his joy of sharing his knowledge and ideas. His sharing was more than teaching; it was testing his ideas.
ReplyDeleteI hope that this blog you can share and test your ideas.
