Meta-knowledge

  • I know something.

    • I know that I know it.
    • I learned it, I should know it but I'm not confident.
    • To convince myself I should teach it to others.
  • I don't know something.

    • Sometimes I don't know that I don't know something.
    • Sometimes I can feel that I lack something, but I don't know what it is that I don't know.
      • I call this hitting the wall of meta-knowledge. (OUCH)
    • I can't figure out why I can't figure out things.

    hitting-the-wall

    • I know what I lack, but I don't know where to go or how to acquire it.
  • I know what others don't, or I don't know what others know.

    • Others don't know that I know something.
    • I know that I know something but I can't explain it to others.
      • I'm not sure if they know what I'm talking about.
      • Are they missing some prerequisite knowledge to understand it?
    • I can't understand what others "see" in something.
      • They get it, I don't, and I'm not sure why.
      • Am I missing some prerequisite knowledge to understand it?
