Knowledge is the fact of knowing, acquaintance, familiarity gained by experience, intellectual acquaintance with or perception of, fact or truth, understanding, a mental apprehension, perception, intuition, or other cognition. We define knowledge as information gained through observation, pondered, analyzed and fitted into the facts of one’s life. Training must continue until complete awareness and comprehension take over. 8)
Sure that is what knowledge effectively does for us, but what does it consist of; how does it really exist, physically?
On computer systems knowledge is represented by electronic signals, in books it is represented by ink, but it is still the human mind that interprets those signals/that ink into effective knowledge; what happens just then, how is that done? People claim to know so much, but how they know it, how this knowledge is contained within their puny little brains, they don't even know. How then can you know anything at all?

There are many things that exists but are not physical.
Language (the system not some printed words or utterance) is one of them since you make use of that you at least have to admit to that.
Something can emerge from the organisation of a large set of things/ data/ whatever...
Catch up on your philosophy :D

sure language exists, but how?
How is it stored and the grey mass in our heads?

Well language is not really stored in our brains as such. Our individual knowledge of and competence with language is 'stored' in the particular configuaration of the brain, the way it is wired up. Likewise language is the product of a society and its particular configuration. The fact that it is a workable system is proof of the efficiency of that configuration even if we do not know 'exactly' how it works or all its details. If you are not prepared to accept the existence of the things you cannot see directly then you are stuck in a sceptic argument and you will never get anywhere. And the point is we did get somewhere. We are discussiing this now aren't we?

No no, I believe knowledge exists, I just wanted to put my claim to know nothing in a different light by doubting if somebody could claim to possess any knowledge at all if they don't even know what this knowledge consists off...

Norse is usually the most *knowledgable* in that respect :D
In any case, he's got a list with coaches and colleges.
I think Lucy's got a good shot, and who knows what super team Gorbad can come up with.
I will be fielding 4 wood elf cathers, so at least I will be in for the most TD award.

So it appears.
Methinks the BUBBL is afraid to face all those excellent coaches from Amsterdam

Who is organising the Ramstel Cup anayway?
