“It Is More Important to Discover New Ways of Thinking About What Is Already Known Than to Discover New Data or Facts”
Humans seek to understand the world in which they live in: its physical and non-physical aspects, if I may oversimplify the categories the world can be divided into. This need in man is natural and can be described as an impulse that has driven man through the generations and steered evolvement into the areas of breakthrough.
To understand a thing originates from the thoughts of a thing: thoughts of what, why, when, where and how, and thoughts of beyond the what, the why, the when, the where and the how. Thus if the origin of learning and discovery lies in thought, the question can therefore be asked: to gain more knowledge of our world and all connected with it, do humans have to probe continuously into making discoveries that have not yet been made, or, instead, do they discover new ways of thinking about what is already known, in order to satisfy their hunger for knowledge?
In my opinion, the stronger weapon is that of discovering new ways of thinking about what is already known. (disovering new ways of thinking about what is already known seems to be the stronger weapon) It is in exploring the various ways by which one can look at what is already known that humans can:
• Draw well-rounded knowledge of what is already known
• Use this well rounded knowledge as a tool by which one can discover the unknown
• In the discovery of various ways of thinking about what is already known, one would invariably discover what is new data or facts about the old data, new data or facts leading to new data which can be connected to the old data, therefore a new datum as a whole is discovered.
This is largely because of the natural interconnectivity of the world.
Discovering new ways of thinking wins both sides of the coin. This is because in discovering new data or facts, one goes through the processes of observing, analyzing, evaluating and then drawing conclusions. Each process is fueled and can only be fueled by the power of thought. Thus, to discover new ways of
