What is Knowledgism?

Knowledgism is the high-tech, high-touch use of knowledge based systems, processes and procedures to optimize economies, societies, areas, subjects, objects, groups and individuals in order to assist their utilization, quality and viability for the greatest good for all. It is founded on win-win accomplishments and includes that which is best from past systems. Knowledge has become not only the true and actual power of today's society, but the basis for survival in the ever-evolving future. In the coming years, the rewards for being knowledgeable will be vast; the penalties for ignorance, severe.

"Knowledge and human power are synonymous." -- Francis Bacon (1561-1626)

THE KNOWLEDGIST

A Knowledgist, then, is one who strives to maintain high levels of all the attributes both created and demanded by knowledge. Knowledgists also are aware of what they know, what they do not know and even that they know they do not know. (Consider, if you will, in particular the value and use of that last one.) They are extremely positive in their actions. Given the attributes needed to maintain high levels of knowledge, a Knowledgist operates on a set of rules altogether different than those of any other type of person. He keeps his knowledge pure. He cannot be forced to pervert his knowledge. He uses his knowledge for betterment only. Unless it is against a few whom are destroying many, he cannot be forced to use his knowledge to harm. He maintains an extremely high level of honesty, for dishonesty is the hiding and obscuring of the fundamental truth and manifests as incompetence; a destruction of knowledge.

A Knowledgist continually expands and updates his knowledge. A Knowledgist remains true to his dreams and aspirations and will help others to be true to theirs. A Knowledgist uses his knowledge to help those around him, both above and below him in rank or position. A Knowledgist would prefer to cease to exist in his position than be forced to dishonor or pervert his principles and truths. A Knowledgist is always willing to pay the price of time, effort, money, attention and power to continue expanding his knowledge and abilities. A Knowledgist always seeks to help and teach those around him or connected to him. He will not invest time with those who wish to prevent knowledge in order to maintain the status quo.

Very importantly, a Knowledgist will not blame, abuse, punish, shame, or make others guilty for being ignorant, but will help them comprehend and guide them toward a path that allows them to gain knowledge. When life or an area is not moving in an uptrend and he cannot locate the knowledge necessary to resolve the situation, a Knowledgist will seek help from another who is masterful in that area to handle the difficulties and the unknowns. A Knowledgist is aware of the areas in which he is literate and the areas in which he is ignorant. A Knowledgist will always be the best he can be.

Knowledgists come from all walks of life. There is no discrimination based on color, creed or sex and such discriminations are invariably rooted in ignorance and fear. Knowledgists can be of any religious group or political belief and appreciate the beliefs of others as simply another possible viewpoint of the area, activity or thing in question.

A Knowledgist is a true Power Player:

ATTRIBUTES OF A POWER PLAYER

1. Perceives accurately and acts on perceptions intelligently.
2. Pursues only an honest, worthy, big dream.
3. Has the knowledge, discipline and focus to maintain and expand his worthy dreams and help expand those of others.
4. Has the ability to take, occupy and maintain a position as well as to take charge.
5. Is a master communicator.
6. Has abundant, upscale communication channels and contacts.
7. Always delivers what he promises to the best of his ability.
8. Appreciates and acknowledges others' viewpoints, skills, dreams, visions, plans and wants.
9. Is honest. He trusts and respects himself and engenders trust and respect in others.
10. Operates in a win-win manner rather than engaging in destructive competitions.

The above are the attributes needed for success in life.

THE KNOWLEDGE LADDER OF SOCIETY

Society is a very stuctured affair that has a simple ladder:

LEADERS
EXECUTIVES
MARKETERS (EDUCATORS)
SUPERVISORS

Those above deal with people, while those following deal with things:

WHITE COLLAR WORKERS
BLUE COLLAR WORKERS
STUDENTS

This ladder has people who are out of work (the homeless, hospital patients, criminals, convicts, etc.); students (people who are learning work); blue-collar workers (construction, maintenance, sanitation, delivery and distribution, food services, etc.); white-collar workers (clerical and computer operators, technicians, design and drafting, engineers, architects, etc.); supervisors or lower managers, marketers (educators - those who get a product or idea known and agreed with); executives (office managers, vice presidents, etc.); leaders (presidents, executive directors, dictators, emperors, etc.).

This is the Ladder of Society. This ladder deals with two areas: people and things. What do all those in the bottom section deal with? Things. Out-of-work people can't handle things; students study about things; blue-collar workers move and handle things; white-color workers design or manage things. Going to the upper section of the ladder, what do all these deal with? People. Supervisors manage people; salespeople talk to people; executives direct people; leaders lead people. Holding one of these upper-section jobs requires learning about people.

THE EVOLUTION OF KNOWLEDGE -- ITS CAUSE, EFFECT, AND CONTROL

Millions of people today are becoming Knowledgists. Knowledgists can't be controlled by force and entrapment. Either may be effective temporarily, but sabotage, hidden resentment, accidents, and things inexplicably going wrong will happen when the basic lifes of life are violated. In semi-free societies that try to control by oppressive management techniques, a Knowledgist will know better and elect to exercise other options. Companies, groups, churches and even countries that seek to suppress knowledge have witnessed their best and brightest people leaving in droves. In an exodus that was called the "brain drain," England saw as many as 200,000 top professional and skilled people leaving yearly from 1949 to 1965. That loss of knowledge and skill has had much to do with England's decline of power until it has become a mere shadow of its former might.

If Knowledgism has its way, there will come a day when management by suppression is seen for what it really is; unprofitable, futile, cruel and madly ignorant.
