mark_bishop on 23 Jun 13Stephen Downes's paper on knowledge contains insights about many topics, including the types of knowledge, emergence (the idea that some knowledge comes through connections between events, actors, or things), and knowledge distribution. Downes flagrantly displays his cognitive bias in his offhand dismissal of political conspiracies when discussing physicality, but makes many interesting and thought provoking points.
