Hiroshi Tasaka: The paradox of knowledge society

Why knowledge will lose its value.
Hiroshi Tasaka is professor at the Tama University in Tokyo and also founder of SophiaBank, a global network think-tank. In his opinion, the biggest paradox of today's knowledge society is the fact that knowledge will actually lose value and wisdom management will be the really critical issue. In this video interview he explains why companies and organisations must open up to the web 2.0-triggered wisdom of the crowd, suggests to talk about "ego management" instead of human resource management and predicts the end of old-fashioned capitalism as we know it.

excellent interview

[@SFFSMESSiah777]

there is a difference between wisdom and knowledge. As information is interpreted and refined into "knowledge", more people will indeed "know" more. The egalitarian shift in development will perhaps redefine knowledge to mean not only "what there is", but rather "what can be". thus, "True knowledge" may become even more valuable, and even more potent, because to differentiate and make itself relevant, the knowledge must become more influential to garner enough support to make it stand out.

Es cierto que el conocimiento, a pesar de compartirlo, no puedes perderlo. Sin embargo, al compartir el conocimiento, pierde el poder que tenía, al ser poseído por más personas. Por ejemplo: si eres conocedor de una técnica revolucionaria para trabajar, que te hace ser más eficiente que el resto; al compartirla, estarías en las mismas condiciones que los demás y ese conocimiento ya no valdría tanto. Es cierto que este punto de vista es, en cierto modo, pesimista; sin embargo, hay que ser conscientes de que vivimos en una sociedad competitiva, y no ser uno más de entre la multitud es esencial para sobrevivir.

Wisdom of crowds is a dangerous concept. While the internet leads to more and faster innovations in the scientific and engineering community, it also has the same effect on pseudo-sciences, religious fanaticism and all sorts of manipulation. It's not like a collective mind automatically is going to generate great ideas, it can/will also generate unimaginably stupid ideas.

[@muchiribantu3226]

Any book recommendations @noxure? If this was you 10 years ago, I'd wonder what you look like now.

[@noxure]

@@muchiribantu3226 Lol, this seems sadly prophetic now. Strange synchronicity - I'm currently reading Joe Abercrombie fantasy series which I recommend; and the latest novel going to be released is titled "the wisdom of crowds".

[@noocher84]

@mrcogllrdo I agree. Completely. I survived the deep END but the forks get stuck - still. Thank you for your interest in the comment.

[@Alientraveler003]

Verry Verry cool

[@lupresti]

YOU ARE A GENIUS I LOVE YOUR BRAIN : )

[@FreePress1000]

@noxure So glad you said that. Too many people seem to have the idea lately,that shared knowledge & ideas are better. I disagree, - too many cooks spoil the broth and how big was the crowd fooled by the kings new clothes?

[@MrJmazing1]

knowledge is always a spring board for action and goal accomplishment. Every individuals innate human need to gain perspective through unique perception is incorporated in us and that search,along with the will to want to search, will never lose value. Free knowledge is not executive to knowledge presented with wisdom delivered in a succinct way such as from a teacher or learned individual. Quality proprietary knowledge is not going anywhere, so this is a rebel statement he presents. (Comically

Es muy razonable lo que dice el Profesor Hiroshi Tasaka , ya que el aprendizaje es mucho mejor compartirlo con "los otros" como dice Vigotsky ya que así formamos un andamiaje que va a servir para formar esas "comunidades"que van a multiplicar el conocimiento...claro que la Sabiduría viene mucho después de lo cognitivo.

@noocher84 Wisdom tells you you can make a nuclear plant with the same material, and help save the environment.

[@deceiver123m]

@mrcogllrdo okay good point.

[@uch]

but doenst knwldge also means skill, that comes throgh expeirnce and application...of whihc tehre is no substitue

[@noxure]

@StrikaAmaru Well actually the subject is irrelevant as long as there is enough neuro-diversity in your "crowd". It's not because you are an educated person, or even an expert on a certain subject that you can offer the best solution to a certain problem. A "crowd source" is often more intelligent than the smartest individual in that group. It's what we call a "super-system". The problem is that sometimes it just isn't and then we call it "war", "genocide", "famine", or a "financial crisis".

[@Mysteryskatin]

I find it hard to understand the significance of knowledge if you're not in a field that requires it. For instance, I work for the DNR. I cut trees and mow grass. Of what use is knowledge to me? Yet I cannot help but be attracted by it, especially political philosophy and physics. Though the more I learn, the more alienated I feel. For instance, when I realized I didn't believe in God, and that, in hindsight, I never really did. It was kind of depressing.

[@noxure]

@Mysteryskatin You feel alienated because you don't share the same interests as most people in your social environment. That's normal, and it's not your fault. Try to find another social environment. We are social animals, we need people who we can communicate with on the same level.

[@patitapintora11]

Me publicaron mi comentario lleno de errores!!!!!Dije claramente que . Se construye más conocimiento junto con los otros, tal como lo plantea Vigotsky, así formamos un andamiaje capaz de sustentar las comunidades inteligentes, eso respecto de lo cognitivo..la sabiduría se va adquiriendo después de mucho conocimiento...debemos cuidar nuestras comunidades que es donde se cultiva el aprendizaje para que se multipliquen las oportunidades del capital más valioso..el conocimiento..la sabiduría.

[@MegaJoeymoey]

lol at the auto-translation :D

[@noocher84]

Knowledge and Intelligence show you how to build the atom hydrogen nuclear bomb. Wisdom within tells you not to use it and the uselessness of such pursuits. I love you

[@wizard85]

I sense EGO tripping, as usual on youtube comments section

[@SFFSMESSiah777]

knowledge capitalism= make money off of knowledge money= food

[@noocher84]

Also I can't tell if this guy id honest or not.

[@sorochepics]

See? It's about wisdom. Your're losing the big picture.

[@MrJmazing1]

) In short...I disagree.

[@musikmanea]

From the beginning of creation the only thing mans intellect and wisdom has ever accomplished is leading mankind away from the source of life and true wisdom. It is the reliance of man on himself that is shown in this present system of things and it is clearly seen to be evil and only continues to perpetuate this evil. Jesus Christ died so that we can once again come to the Father of all creation and receive His wisdom and His life. Come back to your Maker, learn what true freedom is.
