im thinking knowledge can be likely to result in dangerous circumstances due to the ways such knowledge is likely to inspire a human mind. in other words, it's kind of a semantics thing. is something dangerous because of its potential for damage (like a gun for instance?), or is a gun only dangerous to someone who chooses to use it in the wrong way? i personally go for option 2 because i believe that people are generally free to make their own choices, its kind of this thing i believe...

Ignorance in the guise of knowledge is not just dangerous, but deadly...

No. Not inherently on its own.



Hands can indeed help (assist) in spreading knowledge. They can also pass knowledge along without any assistance from verbal or written language.



It can happen both ways. But the knowledge itself, always springs from mind.



If DNA is a Code, and all Codes have Authors, then yes, we can be, "a knowledge unto ourselves". But that knowledge may not be from ourselves. It may be from another.



Show me one that wasn't.



No. Some would say Enlightenment.



Again, yes. Knowledge is everything we make it.



Again, it can be.



You are drunk.

It all depends on what you mean by "knowledge." If by knowledge, for example, one means only matters of fact, then it is hard to conceive that this kind of knowledge would be "dangerous" (to whom, one might ask).

I drink therefore i am.

But only fridays, special occasions and deep depressions.
(so i am only therefore at those times?)

Not what i mean knowledge to mean, to be, knowledge to me, surely knowledge means more that just fact, a rock does not have perseption of us, we do have a perception of the rock, it is not the rock that matters or really means anything, it is our perseption of the anything that makes it mean anything and makes it any kind breed lie, as long as it is perceived.
Not what i mean knowledge to mean, what does it mean to you given for me to know what you mean, not always as you mean but what you m ean is enough.
So give it. Knowledge means more than the fact of the matter, for not all and the important knowledges aren't made from matter even if because of them.
Some things are and are not facts, some things are and are not matter, some things are and are not physical, but some things are knowledge with out any of the previous.

So please decribe for me what knowledge is one more time for the hard of hearing such as i am.

So ignorance is not knowledge, but still a way of existing?
Can you exist without knowledge, even if it is the knowing how not to.
Can you be ignorant from choice?
Choice being a knowledge.

Ignorance is not knowledge, but moral ignorance seeks only so much knowledge as can give it power...It is not the thing in itself they desire, but its secondary effect....Think; Knowledge is good...Why??? It is because if we have moral knowledge, we know how to use all other knowledge for Good...Power is neither good nor bad, but is active, and mindless, and so, dangerous and deadly...If knowledge is good, it is because moral knowledge limits far more than in allows...

All knowledge may be intrinsically good (good independently of its effects); but some may be extrinsically bad (bad because of its effects). So, the question of whether knowledge is good or bad (dangerous or innocuous) is ambiguous, and it depends on whether you mean intrinsically dangerous, or extrinsically dangerous. And the answers are respectively, no, and yes (some).
