The Architecture of Rationality

Knowledge is the ongoing shaping of time, energy, and attention into meaning, insight, and action.

Knowledge is something we experience, practice and refine together, amidst uncertainty. When we practice this shaping, again and again, in different contexts … we generate the systems we live and work within.
