Because knowledge is a living creature, it has memory. Through senses of observations and measurements, sensors and formulas of recognition, all need to be carefully recorded and conserved.
Because knowledge is a living creature, it must reproduce. To multiply and expand its chances for survival through learning, by reading, watching, listening, and doing the teaching process ensures that knowledge will pass on to the next generation, and the next, and the next…
Knowledge is a living creature, and we are all its caretakers! So take care of your knowledge and occasionally give it a little scratch between the ears with This Week in Science!
