A Taxonomy of Knowledge Warren Gaston

I have attempted to organize knowledge in the most precise categories possible.

• Things easily understood
• Things understood but not correctly
• Things assumed but not investigated
• Things known to squirrels but not deer
• Things known to birds but not fish
• Things you were told and believed
• Self-discovered truths
• Things known to women but not men
• Things known only in sleep
• Things known not requiring comprehension
• Things understood well enough to get by
• Things known when the house is on fire
