No Fredrick, I'm not parroting you. The pyramid model of knowledge is one I developed, back in the early `90's to explain the entire evolution of knowledge systems, from oral traditions, to books and colleges, and finally todays narrowing of the pyramid base through computers, to point omega. The entire figure I used is really a diamond, one pyramid base standing on another pyramid base. The cone of knowledge graphic idea is from Richard Hardison, a really brilliant cosmologist, and physicist, I read back in the late `80's. Hardison's laws of knowledge accumulation, and dissipation are the most interesting I've ever come across. I'd quote them, but they're on my other computer in Maine, and I'm in Florida. Also, much of my alfa to omega model of knowledge was combined out of Tielhard's Noosphere ideas, of knowoledge organization, from alpha to omega. So, not parroting, our ideas just happen to have used a similar graphic base.
I'll get back to the rest of the message, later. Going to the beach...
