Isabelle’s Reviews > The Internet of Us: Knowing More and Understanding Less in the Age of Big Data > Status Update

"[…] perhaps we should make greater progress in the discovery of rational and contemplative knowledge if we sought it in the fountain ... of things in themselves, and made use rather of our own thoughts than other men's to find it."

"believe based on reasons you can own—stemming from principles you would, on reflection, endorse."

"…growth in knowledge without a corresponding growth in wisdom is dangerous."

"Understanding is what we have when we know not only the "what" but the "why.""

"…understanding not only gets us the "why," it brings with it the "which"—as in which question to ask. Those who know, do. But those who understand also ask the right question—and therefore can find out what to do next."
