Richard P. Feynman expressed a fascinating perspective on uncertainty in knowledge, emphasizing that living without definitive answers can be more engaging than relying on potentially incorrect ones. This leads to critical inquiries about how we ascertain information reliability and the impact of language on our understanding. This guide proposes a step-by-step approach to construct knowledge issues, encouraging open-ended questions related to real-life topics. By examining the nuances of belief, perception, and the reliability of sources, we can deepen our appreciation for the complexity and richness of human knowledge.

Transcription de la présentation

  1. Richard P. Feynman on Uncertainty • “I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of uncertainty about different things, but I am not absolutely sure of anything and there are many things I don't know anything about.”

  2. Constructing a Knowledge Issue A step by step guide

  3. Steps Take one or two words from column 1 Take one or two words from column 2 Relate them to the real-life issue or topic under discussion in the form of an open question

  4. Examples • Real- life question issue: ‘Wikipedia says that Bangkok is in Thailand • KI: ‘How can I use reason to know whether information from an internet source is accurate and reliable?’

  5. Examples ‘The choice of the phrase “all men are created equal” instead of “all humans...” set back women’s rights 200 years. KI: ‘To what extent does the choice of words to express ideas subconsciously alter our understanding of them?’

  6. Examples ‘My homeopath says the contents of this bottle will cure me, but my doctor says they will do nothing at all.’ KI: ‘How reliable are scientific methods when used to test apparently incompatible claims about how the world works?’

  7. So, is it a knowledge issues? • Is the SUBJECT of the questions about knowledge? Or how we know something? Or what affects our belief of something? Our perception of something? Etc.... X Is the subject a topic that could have a clear answering talking about a ‘real’ thing
