Categorization

  • DEFINE: ‘Study’ is defined in relation to ‘information,’ drawing a firm line between machine-accessible data and human understanding/reflection/being.
  • XREF: This echoes the Frankfurt School’s distinction between instrumental knowledge and genuine reflection, and connects to discussions of AI replacing knowledge work.
