Knowledge Engineering
…is about accelerating the efficient progression of curiosity … and that is about improving the conversion of data into information, improving the conversion of information into knowledge, improving the conversion of the complexities of knowledge into ordered wisdom and improving the utilization of acquired wisdom for informed, actionable, creative insight and expression.
There is no room for outright censorship [of something that offends us] in the conversion process of legitimate knowledge engineering … for example, even garbage data informs our the improvement of data collection processes just as misinformation and propaganda betray weakness. We don’t waste noise; we find uses for it.
