What the hell is this all ablout:
"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me because, as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. "We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. "But there are also unknown unknowns - the ones we don't know we don't know." Now who would say a thing like this?? ;) |
I think that "I think that gay marriage is something that should be between a man and a woman," should have won.

Maybe it is subtitle? ;)
If it was though - well I missed the hidden meaning :D |

Why was this nominated for a gobbeldygook award, when it makes sense? [img]graemlins/erm.gif[/img] Is my admitting that it makes sense a good thing or a bad thing?</font> [ 12-03-2003, 01:08 AM: Message edited by: Azred ] |
Well I am thinking Azred that you are describing is more of an incognisant unknown as opposed to an unknown unknown. Pardon my interruption, but it was an important and necessary distinction that I feel duty bound to observe [img]smile.gif[/img] .

Guess I spend to much time writing computerese... all these statements make perfect sense to me and it appears he covers almost all his bases (all viable permutations)
Known Knowns - things that we know... and we know that we know them. Known Unknowns - things that we don't know... and we know we don't know them. Unknown Unknowns - things that we don't know... and we don't know that we don't know them. the only one he missed : Unknown Knowns - things we don't know that we know... but we know them. All the above situations are possible. |

Hmmm... Remember that episode of taxi where the Christopher Loyd character sits down at a piano and starts playing, really well... then he says "Hey, I didn't know I could play the piano!" [img]smile.gif[/img] I think a more-better example would be if a bank was being robbed as you drove by but you didn't know it at the time. The cops come on TV looking for people who were near the bank when the robbery occurred. You know you didn't see any robbers but you go down and talk to them and they get you to recall a car that was parked in a strange spot right in front of the bank doors. That was important information you knew but didn't know you knew until the cop interviewed you and jarred that memory loose. |
