I was told that all these guys on scooters with lists pinned in front of them are taxi drivers learning 'the knowledge'.
I visited the "Mapping Knowledge. Understanding the World through Data" exhibition in Mons, Belgium, which is European capital of culture in 2015. An exhibition for all persons interested in data visualisation/infographics, and all those interested by the "knowledge" topic. The biggest surprise for me was to discover and to learn more about the Mundaneum. It is the crazy project of two Belgian, Paul Otlet and Henri La Fontaine, who tried in the late nineteenth century to gather and classified the world’s knowledge available on...paper at that time. They created an internet on paper! Their final goal was to design the ideal society, with the help of Le Corbusier. Mundaneum is not only a big crazy project but it is also the place and the concept that hosts the exhibition (The message is the medium. Isn't?)
The exhibition starts with a large timeline of "data visualisations" (maps, drawings, etc) which begins in 366AC.
An interesting part of the exhibition is on the tree (symbol of knowledge) and its use in visualisations to represent the organisation of knowledge. Another part offers orginal works by Paul Otlet done for the Mundaneum project, wonderful. A part is dedicated to "invisible networks and cities" which proposes visualisations of the hidden flow of data around us. To finish, a section on "Data is art" where artists use data to create pieces of art.

The Tree of Knowledge at Barcaldine - a dusty bush - is one of Australia's most famous historical trees.
The 150-year old ghost gum, Eucalyptus Papuana, earned its claim to fame as the founding site of the political movement we now know as the Australian Labor Party.
The tree was the main meeting place for townspeople and was then known as the 'Alleluia Tree' because the Salvation Army used to meet under its branches.
Meetings of bullock drivers ('bullockies") were also held under the tree.

Why 2 dates? Well the first volume started in 1909 and it was 1911 when the last one was published. It was typical to publish these as partworks and people would take them to a bookbinders. That's why there are so many different cover designs for the same edition.

Note-Grids are a tool for collecting and connecting objects of thought (in this case, words).
They treat words and other manifestations of thought as objects that can be freely manipulated to create new meaning.
They break meaning up into individual words to facilitate a more fluid, intuitive, and improvisational approach to knowledge production.

Tibetan Buddhists value knowledge and wisdom. Other than spending their days chanting, these monks would meet regularly under these trees to challenge each other intellectually and philosophically.
The challenger would stand up, swing his prayer beads across his other arm and clap his hands very loudly. At the same time, he yells his question to his fellow monk, who sits humbly and listens before making a reply.
It is said that animals and insects that rest in the trees have much to gain from the chatter as they slowly absorb knowledge and wisdom from the debating monks.

"Our knowledge of Jewish life in that age justifies the inference that the Boy was well taught in the law and the scriptures, for such was the rule. He garnered knowledge by study, and gained wisdom by prayer, thought, and effort. Beyond question He was trained to labor, for idleness was abhorred then as it is now; and every Jewish boy, whether carpenter's son, peasant's child, or rabbi's heir, was required to learn and follow a practical and productive vocation. Jesus was all that a boy should be, for His development was unretarded by the dragging weight of sin; He loved and obeyed the truth and therefore was free."
Also, in D&C 93:12-14
12 And I, John, saw that he received not of the fulness at the first, but received grace for grace;
13 And he received not of the fulness at first, but continued from grace to grace, until he received a fulness;
14 And thus he was called the Son of God, because he received not of the fulness at the first.
He was born into a royal blood lineage...>>>Continue Reading ldstalks.blogspot.com/2010/11/gratitude-for-jesus-christ....
