Tom,

Your thought does ring with the philosophy, if you may, of this forum. The essence of this forum is to encourage multiple, and contradictory, interpretations of.. call it what you like... information, reality, truth, or the static and unidimensional views of knowledge. It's only by challenging our 'taken for granted view' of the world that we can come to appreciate the multiple views that may simultaneously make sense from different perspectives. One may engage oneself in the Socratic dialog of questioning the 'givens,' however, it is often difficult to engage in this process given the subjective biases implicit in 'what we know.' Hence interaction with other minds, via reading, listening, viewing, and / or sensing (used broadly), perhaps facilitates the process of 'constructing' knowledge. In this interactive process, tacit knowledge gets expressed in terms of explicit knowledge given the context of the interaction. However, the same tacit knowledge may present different 'expressions' as explicit knowledge
depending upon the context within which it impinges on the 'medium' by means of which it is explicated.
