We believe in truth, truth is what is real and what is real can be of two kinds: social reality with people in it, or physical reality with matter and material bodies in it. That means knowledge is about social or physical reality. Therefore km must be about those.

If that is so, km manages the social or the implicit that people and societies assume and do not test because they cannot (e.g. the concept of God) or because they only have each other to calibrate (e.g. ‘is this who we are?’). Plus if that is so, km manages the physical or the explicit that the world or the universe offers.

So? If km is about social and physical truth and we live in only one world, how do we bring the two together, make them one? This is what 99% of philosophy, theology and (social) psychology is about. (Unsure about sociology or cultural anthropology.)

Why don’t we look for classical answers, likely to be proven beyond reasonable doubt? Or who does these days?
