"I know you think knowledge ‘flows’. I don’t.
Maybe a whole different vocabulary is needed here. It’s like you (and most other people) have a ‘wave theory’ of knowledge. You see the motion of the wave, from one location to the next to the next.
But I have a ‘particle theory’ of knowledge. I see each particle stirred by other particles around it, moving up and down, but not ‘flowing’ in any particular way." Stephen Downes in response to Frances Bell (Old Wine in New Bottles)
