Update: The author I had quoted asked that I not refer to his work. To accomodate his request, I have rewritten this post. January 6th, 2005 I recently read a piece where the author claimed that knowledge is perishable and as a result it is important to act on intelligence before the value of that knowledge expires. Think of the relationship between knowledge and intelligence in the following way:
Before information turns into knowledge, for a time, it is intelligence. And while it’s intelligence it is terrifically valuable. So, it seems that gaining intelligence ought to be a major priority. If this is true, then an important question would be – Where does one get intelligence? Of course some comes from understanding the implications of emerging information, but, I’ve been wondering about another source. Continuing with our metaphor: If knowledge is perishable, it eventually becomes garbage. Think recycling. Can knowledge be turned back into intelligence? |
