1 Richard P. Feynman on Uncertainty “I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong.

2 Constructing a Knowledge Issue A step by step guide

3 AOK/ WOKLinking questions/ words MathematicsBelief EthicsCertainty Natural SciencesCulture Human SciencesEvidence HistoryExperience The ArtsExplanation Interpretation Sense PerceptionIntuition LanguageJustification EmotionTruth ReasonValues Steps 1.Take one or two words from column 1 2.Take one or two words from column 2 3.Relate them to the real-life issue or topic under discussion in the form of an open question
