Those reading may understand what I'm referring to in the title, assuming that you are a gamer.
Now the Apple that I'm talking about can be linked to both the forbidden fruit from the bible or the mystical ancient device of mind control used by the Assassins in the game series Assassin's Creed. In both cases This apple is a symbol of knowledge.
A definition of knowledge states that, information that is understood and applied in the real world in considered to be knowledge. So how exactly is this done? A 4 step process( may vary from person to person). This process takes place without us even knowing.
1.Come up with a hypothesis: Basically a theory, any thought or doubt that you previously had and would like to clear up or know more about.
2. Conducting experiments: By this i mean, test it out, how, when and where does the theory apply, what are its limitations?
3. Observation: This is what you have seen or perceived from your experiment. Outcomes of it.
4. Conclusion: Do your observations match the theory/hypothesis. If they do, then you know you were right, if not then you know you were wrong. Either way you learn something new.
The point that I'm trying to make here is that, we have our ways of attaining knowledge, and we all love learning something new. Knowledge basically helps us understand our world and whatever is beyond it better. How many of us have actually paused to think about everything that you have learnt over the last few years or more, and the impact it has had on our lives? Does knowing more really make you a better person or more superior than the rest? That answer to that is up to you to think about.
