Greetings Jack,

I'm skeptical about the PKM movement as a viable route to knowledge sharing, learning and understanding here is why:

• Self-elicitation is an endless circle to nowhere
  
• Real Key discoveries mostly require external triggers
  
• Reflection is a poor substitute for testing in dialog
  
• Emergence and sense-making are tied to insightful questions
  
• Knowledge needs (social) relationships to surface, flow and be tested

Knowledge work is not about PKM - it is all about communcation, community, knowledge creation, conversation. Getting into a personal huddle and organising your thoughts can easily take you away from the real flow and emergence - where it all happens.

Or you could say these are just the confessions of an evangelist for the sociology of knowledge!
