Increasing Our Knowledge Base

Increasing our knowledge base.  We go about this in several ways.  Watching the news, friends, talk shows, schools, and seminars are only a few of the ways that this can happen.  The problem with any method of information communication may not be real.

It takes a lot more that information being transferred into your brain.  Is it real or true.  The world presents us  with a monumental  amount of information, but the problem is that some  of it is  false.  Social media gives out as much incorrect information as it gives out the truth.  Misinformation is a  major tool for  scammers and other unscrupulous people.  Prudent evaluation is important to everyone.

People think differently

Everyone doesn’t come the the same conclusions, even when we see the same thing.  We all get fooled from time to time.  All we can do is to do the best that we can.  Increasing our knowledge base somewhat depends of the knowledge that we had prior to receiving the new information.  Do you know why we come up with different conclusions.  We all have opinions prior to the reception of new information.  The interpretation of the information that we receive can also be different.

Increase our knowledge base

We all need to be open to change.  Common sense is  one area, but not the only thing.  I have different opinions that some of my friend, but I feel that they also have common sense.  Is the subject important to you?  Research can help, but it can biased. 

Decision making can be tough.  My present day decisions are made by research.  I like many others have made wrong decisions in my life.  Making these bad decisions had bad result and helped me be more  careful today.  The other view of the story is as valuable as my view.  I don’t accept anything as social media as fact.  What I do if I see something of interest on social  media is research it.  I check it out to see if  it’s true.

I saw an interview of Gina Florio and it inspired me to write this blog.   She is  a person that changed her mind on her political views.  She is a life coach and shares her personal experiences and why she changed.  This is a perspective that describes both sides and what made her change.  The site is https://www.prageru.com/video/the-candace-owens-show-gina-florio/
