Alice in Wonderland says that words mean whatever you want them to mean.
Truth in the corporation is socially defined. Is the glass half full or is
it half empty? And how do our definitions then influence the development
of our psychological sets which influence our selective perceptions of
other information.
Knowledge to me is a cognitive map. It is integrated information,
experience, skills into a systemic whole with boundaries meaningful to the
makemaker and if (s)he can convince anyone else.
