Knowing

You are not thinking, you are merely being logical.

– Niels Bohr

Directions

North is traditional knowledge—what the ancestors and elders know (or “knew” since this class of key knowledge has been so disregarded that our elders drift into dementia in “homes”, that are anything but, instead of being held in a place of honor and wisdom).⁠⠀
South is your and others’ personal experiences/anecdotes, whatever those may be.⁠⠀
West is intuitive, instinctual knowledge.⁠⠀
East is new knowledge, like the rising sun: science, cutting edge, things that haven’t been seen before.⁣

Use this one type of knowledge: journal articles, left brain assessments, reductionist perspectives of infinitely complex systems, etc. as the sole guiding light on a given topic at your own risk. It’s better to think of it as a useful tool—appropriate in some scenarios and not in others.
