All Knowing is doing

Does that sound odd? Think about a good course learning objective. It should describe what the person can DO as a result of the training. But wait.. what about "knowledge"? Well how is knowledge demonstrated? Do a thought experiment. How do you assess that someone "knows" something? Then turn the experiment around, How do you "know" that you "know" something?

We actually do what we know.     In other words, shouldn't we apply what we call knowledge?. Shouldn't we act and behave in accordance with what we have learned about ourselves and how our world works?     The world in which we live is a world of differences. Of course it's also important to recognize similarities — that's the basis for our human capabilities to create and manipulate symbols for language and thinking. When we ignorantly or intentionally disregard differences, we don't behave in accordance with what we know. Troubles inevitably follow.     Therefore this human capability to critically differentiate, or discern, between this and that provides a foundation for our individual, and collective, humanness.     I advocate teaching and applying an informed world view deliberately derived from what we currently understand about ourselves and our world ... without deference to dogmas, traditions, or what passes for culturally-dependent "common sense." With over 150 video clips and dozens of demonstrations, exercises, and explanations, I hope you'll find something of value to learn, practice, and teach. I'm also pleased to offer, through a partnership with MindEdge, Inc., effective, affordable, and engaging online courses for individuals and organizations.
