I started off wondering about the
implications of technology and a particular view on the mind for our
understanding of knowledge and its assessment. http://xkcd.com/903/

But of course, sometimes it’s not as easy as
reading “a view, and the opposing view”, e.g. many news outlets simply
don’t report on certain issues https://xkcd.com/470/ 3.
And of course, testimonial knowledge
does matter http://xkcd.com/1170/ 4.
And you can find people aren’t speaking the
same language; good informants personalise. http://xkcd.com/953/ 5.
And how people frame their information
seeking, and decide when a lack of answer is informative (i.e., that it
indicates there is no answer, or it gives positive information about
something), or just that people give up. http://xkcd.com/1334/
