Knowledge

Hym "My feelings have nothing to do with it. It's knowledge. I know my account of reality is correct. Your argument is basically 'well, there's no evidence I shot you so you're not dead.' And don't worry about what I'm goong to do about it. You're like Stan Smith from that episode of American Dad where he feels that Steve is getting soft so he starts dressing like a teenager and dollowing Steve around and bullying him until he stands up to him (Stan). All the while using this carrying a box of oranges up several flights of stairs. Insisting that 'if you don't do things the right way you won't have a good life.' The conflict resolves after Steve hires Stan's old bully Stelio Kantos to beat up Stan. He prefaces the beatdown by saying 'What do you care how I get the oranges up the stairs?' and that Stelio was going to beat him until he (Stan) says that the oranges are 'up the stairs.' It's a good episode from the best show (arguably). But it applies. And you are Machiavellian. Look... Hold on... searching... 'Machiavelli believed that public and private morality had to be understood as two different things in order to rule well. As a result, a ruler must be concerned not only with reputation, but also must be positively willing to act unscrupulously at the right times.' See that? Who does that sound like? Not me. I've said repeatedly that the very idea of a private morality disproves belief in a purported proposition ethic (not in so many words but implicitly)"

Knowledge Vampire

Someone who is great is extracting information out of others. There are two kinds of KVs -- i) who keeps the knoweldge to themselves and ii) who shares the acquired knowledge.

KVs that keeps the knowledge to themselves are harmful to the society.. They collect knowledge for selfish reasons and use it against the person they acquired the knowledge from. It's important to identify them and seal them in their coffins.

KVs that shares the knowledge with others are good. They are like robinhood but the knowledge. They acquire and release the knowledge for the betterment of the society. It's important to identify them and promote them to free more knowledge to the world
This podcaster is such a knowledge vampire. He knows how to suck the knowledge from the guests.

Knowledge Junkie

Knowledge Junkie (noun): An intellectually adventurous individual, often of high intelligence, with an insatiable curiosity and an intense drive to acquire knowledge. Often labeled as “know-it-alls” due to their obsessive focus on intellectual pursuits, they show little interest in non-intellectual discussions. Driven by the need to constantly challenge and expand their understanding, they are willing to take significant risks—such as venturing into warzones for firsthand insights or scaling extreme mountains to test their mental and physical limits—in pursuit of learning.
"I swear, my friend Jamie is such a knowledge junkie. Last year, she hiked through a jungle just to study ancient ruins up close, and now she’s talking about traveling to a warzone for some documentary research. She’s always chasing the next big thing to learn, no matter how wild it is."
