IAN: So there's no difference between false
and true statements? Statements transmit know-
ledge. If what A knows is false and what B knows
is true, the knowledge of each is equally scientific.
Pseudoscience would simply be the absence of knowledge.
I disagree. I also am not convinced that knowledge =>
constant increase. A person could have a fixed set of
things they know, and it does not spontaneously repl-
icate into more knowledge. The set of all raccoons
have probably maintained a pretty constant level
of knowledge. I think true and a false are
attributes of knowledge, growth is not.
Knowledge growth is an attribute of desire to
learn and of the mental capacity to do so.
>For instance, creationism is not knowledge since it does
>not create any new knowledge...
IAN: So if a person does not gain new knowledge,
they have no knowledge? Knowledge is only know-
ledge if it is expanding? I can't see this.
