Quote by Clifford Stoll

Data is not information, information is not knowledge, knowledge is not understanding, understanding is not wisdom.

Data is not information, information is not knowledge, knowl

Summary

This quote highlights the distinct stages in the process of acquiring and comprehending information. It suggests that data alone does not equate to meaningful knowledge; rather, data needs to be processed and organized to transform into useful information. Yet, even information does not necessarily constitute knowledge, as knowledge implies a deeper level of understanding and context. Furthermore, the quote emphasizes that understanding alone does not guarantee wisdom, which encompasses the ability to apply knowledge judiciously and make wise decisions. Each level requires a progressive evolution and contextualization of information.

The family is the basic cell of government: it is where we are trained to believe that we are human beings or that we are chattel, it is where we are trained to see the sex and race divisions and become callous to injustice even if it is done to ourselves, to accept as biological a full system of authoritarian government.

For a moment he felt a wild hope: perhaps this really was a nightmare. Perhaps he would awake in his own bed, bathed in sweat, shaking, maybe even crying . . . but alive. Safe. Then he pushed the thought away. Its charm was deadly, its comfort fatal.
