Suppose
you know something and are presented with the answer to a question or
situation about it. You know the answer - in another form. Then, to verify you need to convert your knowledge to the new but
equivalent form. If you cannot do this,
you are marked wrong. But still, you
know the answer!
Knowledge
skills in any situation, especially tests, require at least two stages:
understanding the question or situation and knowing the answer, and then identifying or discriminating
the possibly given correct answer, even if you know the answer in another form.
So, true
knowledge has at least two phases. Knowing and
Converting. Our entire school system is
based on knowing. Our entire testing system depends on converting.

As
usual, there is no limit to the suffering to be endured by the many to assure
good feelings of the few. Indeed, it is the suffering impressed that makes
their good feelings even better.

If
you stand for something, political or not, you are likely somebody’s useful
idiot.
