Notes from Anthony Judge
"A consideration at this time is the apparent inability of the academic world to elaborate insights of relevance in practice to the governance of a global civilization faced with a plethora of seemingly unresolvable challenges -- and with the possibility of more to come of a potentially unforeseeable nature. The assertive declarations of competence and insight from the perspectives of the various disciplines are themselves indicative of the inadequacy of "knowledge" -- given the problematic quality of discourse between them. By contrast, how can the quality of discourse be enhanced between any acknowledging their ignorance ? "

"A case can be made for elaborating a semantic map, or a concept map, to interrelate the various partial insights into ignorance. This would enable exploration of how inclusive or exclusive was the perspective from any particular domain. There is a tragically instructive irony to any effort to elaborate such a map, namely that it would itself be subject to intellectual property constraints, according to the copyright law restricting its dissemination. This would distinguish it as knowledge -- namely as distinct from the ignorance it purported to map. Ignorance does not lend itself to copyright restrictions -- unless it is claimed to be knowledge. "
