Steven Pinker on Knowledge - Dictionary of Arguments

Brockman I 102
Knowledge/Pinker: Knowledge can be explained as patterns in matter or energy that stand in systematic relations with states of the world, with mathematical and logical truths, and with one another.
Brockman I 109
Omniscience/Pinker: Knowledge is acquired by formulating explanations and testing them against reality, not by running an algorithm faster and faster. Devouring the information on the Internet will not confer omniscience either: Big Data is still finite data, and the universe of knowledge is infinite.
>Artificial intelligence/Pinker
, >Omniscience/Pinker, >Big Data.
