Opinion: Uncertainty about whether you are right. And if you are right, not being sure why.
Knowledge: Knowing you have the truth and why it’s true.
Knowledge: Knowing you have the truth and why it’s true.
Opinions can be right or wrong. Knowledge is never wrong.
In court witnesses testify to knowledge based on observation ... what they “saw” not what they “think.” Yet in our lives we constantly tell other what we think.
We often consume the opinion of others but treat it in our mind as if it were knowledge.
Regardless of whether you believe in the right to have your own opinion, you don’t have a right to your own knowledge.
And ... The right to have an opinion, does not mean you have an informed opinion. It does not mean everyone should listen to your thoughts. It doesn’t mean you’re credible. It does not mean you are right.
When we seek consensus we mean everyone having the same opinion. We don’t mean a consensus of knowledge.
