| Make a large contribution to human knowledge Question1 #146595 We invite you to think big: What is the LARGEST contribution to human knowledge you can think of? |
Contribute to human knowledge by changing the way knowledge work works
Normally one can contribute only a single 'person-lifetime' worth of knowledge; by working on the systemic level, one can increase the effects of everyone else's work; this makes the potential for contribution incomparably larger REFLECTION: Consider the thesis that when we allow ourselves to work on the systemic level or 'meta-' level (improving knowledge work), the possibilities for contributing to human knowledge become incomparably larger.
