To start the forum going, this is the best question to ask, before what is knowledge itself, we should define what do we know, or if we know at all.

So, what do we know? In contrast to what we believe, think, feel...

What impplies this difference?

When a human is conceived in the womb, it starts developing the sense of hearing and sense of touch. By these two senses, the fetus begins its knowledge acquisition. After birth, the sense of smell and the sense of sight and the sense of taste are added to these knowledge base.

But are the objects of that perception, knowledge? They might be, but onyl for the particular human. For the rest, the things are different.

the result of sense perception is a neural connection. If the fetus keep hearing its parents quarreling, after birth dysfunctional characteristics will set-in.

What is "will set-in"? I've heard that it is true that if one when he is a fetus he hears things that are nto welcoming in a sens,e there is a high probability that he neglects connecting to reality, and becomes an autist.

Once the neurons are connected, it is impossible to disconnect them except by killing the individual. But death is not an acceptable solution in this case. Biologically speaking, there must be a way to disconnect neurons???

My little knowledge of biology tells me that it could be by provoking tumors in the neurons: they will disconnect to it, and then we have to reduce and eliminate the tumor, of course. There are several problems with this method: the person will have tumor (i.e. cancer), the neurons might not disconnect, so it will spand all around, we might not stop the tumor in time, we still don't know how to eliminate completely tumors, provoke them, controll them, or even predict them. We don't even know exactly why they happen (we know how: overmultiplication).

We know we, the sense of community, as opposed to isolation, which has proven effects.

Is this the lesser of two evils, the other being death. I need to research some more.

[michellemfry]

The causes of miscarraige could be the lesser of two evils in this case. Not a very pleasant subject, is it? The fetus knows death.
