Francesco Furno: some suggestions about knowledge

The knowledge is very important in a KBS because:
it has to help the cityzen to orientate himself in the society, giving him the mean to understand where he could look for information in order to face each kind of situation. It is impossible for a cityzen to know everything; what is possible is, instead, to give the cityzen the chance to understand the basis of every situation and, consequentely, to find the required information.
it has to be “organic”; this means that the cityzen has to understand that all kinds of knowledge are linked together and every concept reminds to another one. Only being aware of this a cityzen could be prepared to understand the basis of every situation
the base-knowledge of a cityzen has to be simple and easily available to him, it has to be discursive but correct; only in a second time the cityzen has to develp a scientific and deep approach to the knowledge. This is the only way for a person to build a orientative knowledge.
The knowledge is strongly linked with emotions: in fact, every knowledge a person develops has emotions inside. Anyway, the amount of emotions impressed changes from a knowledge to another. The important thing is: the more emotions there are, the more efficient and strong the knowledge is. It is fundamental to develop an educational sistem that considers emotion more than nowadays.

A suggestions about economics

We need that the spheres of power, as economy, do not interfere in the decision-process but, instead, knowledge remains more clear and pure as possible, because it is the only right criterion of making-decisions.

A consideration on Freedom
When you are in a society you have to be aware of the fact that your freedom is not absolute; in fact, you have to sacrify a little part of it for the other members of the society. In change of this, you will receive protection and safety.

A consideration on Duty
If we want to build a society that really works, we have to own the awareness of the function of duty; in fact, duty is the glue that keeps together all the members of society. Duty grows up from knowledge: only by understanding how the society works, what are the advantages and what are the issues, we can feel a sense of duty for our society.
