Tacit knowledge

I was approached today about getting involved in a conference on tacit knowledge. It took be back to all of those angels dancing on the head of a pin over definitions of knowledge and the nonsense about capturing knowledge and harnessing knowledge.

We know what we know when we take action and even then it is just a passing thought, a fleeting sense of being in control. Until then it is just part of the constant chatter of a mind that likes to think that it is in charge.
