Introduction
This event is one in a series of online Knowledge Cafés on Conversational Leadership run on the Zoom video conferencing platform.
Each Café is themed on material from my online blook on Conversational Leadership.
Before each Café, I may ask you to do a little homework and read one or more posts in my blook relating to the theme.
If you are not familiar with the Knowledge Café concept, this event is participatory. It is NOT a webinar.
David will speak to the following theme of this Café and pose a question to trigger the conversation. We will then divide into break-out rooms for three rounds of small group conversations followed by a whole group conversation.
Theme: The Knowledge Delusion
We have built hugely complex societies and technologies, but most of us don’t even know how a toilet works.
As individuals, we know almost nothing compared to what we think we know. Our personal knowledge is a delusion.
Most of our individual beliefs are not based on our personal experience or even our analysis of the evidence. They are based on our trust or distrust of other people and institutions. Despite this, we argue and fight over our beliefs.
Reading Material
Please read this short post in my blook on the subject if you have the time. It is not a pre-requisite.
