Conscious understanding is not required for implicit knowledge to emerge in a system and maintain itself
In the sense that we are not actually aware of the details of how our minds work, even we ourselves are full of implicit knowledge. Some of which we pass on by example, over and over, without conscious recognition
Conscious understanding is not required for implicit knowledge to emerge in a system and maintain itself
Isn't this what most people (incorrectly, imo) call "knowledge"? The idea that "we know this", when "we" is not a thing that can know, as knowing can only occur in an individual. Still the collective is able to manage itself, little cogs in a big machine.
