Approach to Knowledge

Yeah yeah I totally get that man. You got the 2 types right? Michael Malice was talking about this, right? Where you got the 2 types of people, right? Like, the first guy looks at what's around him and deduces conclusions. Like ME! And the other guy has a worldview in his head and he tries to make reality comport with that worldview.... Like the guy who's trying to use Nikki Haley to pass his anti-online anonymity legislation. Or the conservatives trying to legislate and boycott the gays away. What is the name of that guy.... Oh wait! It's Dr. Jordan! He's the one doing that! He tried to frame it as though it's the communists doing the thing be HE'S the one trying to force reality to comport with his vision.

Hym "Yeah, that approach to knowledge where you try to do that thing you're doing is dogshit. That's largely the problem here."

Spaces of Power of Knowledge

The specific locations—institutional, geographical, social—where knowledge is validated, certified, and authorized to count as "real." The university lecture hall. The peer-reviewed journal. The TEDx stage. The expert witness stand. These spaces aren't neutral containers; they're active filters that shape what can be said, who can say it, and how it must be formatted to be heard. Knowledge that originates outside these spaces must translate itself, often awkwardly, to gain admission. The Spaces of Power determine not just what we know, but what we're allowed to call knowing.

Spaces of Power of Knowledge "She's been studying local water patterns for forty years, but without a PhD, her knowledge doesn't count in the Spaces of Power. So the town council listens to the consultant who flew in yesterday instead."
