Replying to LO30551 --
Dear Ziva:
You say knowledge could not be without humans. What about knowledge held
by other animals? What about extraterrestrial beings? What about
non-mental forms of knowledge, such as DNA? Or knowledge contained in
signals used by other species, such as pheramones produced and "read" by
ants?
I think you go too far.
Regards,
Mark
