Know

To lead our lives in the best possible way we need knowledge about all aspects of the world we live in.

We need to know the facts Knowledge may be likened to maps. A map should represent the landscape accurately. Otherwise it would be misleading and useless. We need many different kinds of reliable maps - in our mind - of the various aspects of the world. For a map to be reliable it should be based on facts.

Facts

A fact is something that really exists. It is verifiable meaning that it can be confirmed. Facts can be obtained using objective methods. For example to make a map of the landscape we would use objective methods like to measure distances and using photography from the air. Subjective indicators like personal feelings, interpretations and beliefs would be useless.

True to everyone

Unlike “pseudo-knowledge” based on beliefs (usually acquired by indoctrination in a minority), knowledge based on facts can be accepted by everyone because it has been obtained using objective methods, which are not being influenced by personal beliefs.

We humans are part of nature. We function according to the same principles as all living creatures. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to study nature to know more about ourselves and our role in the world we live in.
