In a world of instant answers and comfortable echo chambers, humanity gathers at the symbolic funeral of Knowledge. This article uses the metaphor of a funeral to examine how uncritical reliance on AI, the decline of reading, failing education systems, and ideological tribalism have all played a part in the death of curiosity and understanding. It also reflects on our own complicity in this decline—and how we might resurrect a culture of genuine learning, debate, and critical thinking.
Knowledge
Welcome to my blog, where philosophy, engineering, and a deep curiosity about the world come together. With a background rooted in technology, I’ve always been captivated by the way ideas intersect and shape the paths we take. This space is a reflection of my thoughts on the systems that govern our lives, the questions that challenge our understanding, and the ways in which we, as individuals and societies, navigate complexity. Join me as I explore these themes, share perspectives, and invite meaningful conversation about the forces that drive our world.
