<div dir="ltr"><div>I wanted to share with my colleagues that Bloomsbury Publishing has just published my new book about information. This one is about tacit knowledge. <span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">I have completed another book, </span><i style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">Beyond the Facts. </i><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">This one is about tacit knowledge—what we
learn through experience that remains in our subconscious until we need to use
it.</span><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"> </span><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">People know more tacit knowledge
(wisdom) than explicit knowledge (facts, data, etc.).</span><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"> </span><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">Tacit knowledge is difficult to explain and
now with AI consuming so much explicit information, we need to better
understand tacit forms so that we can appreciate its relationship to AI and explicit
knowledge.</span><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"> </span><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">I integrated findings of
brain scientists and the thinking of philosophers into a short book that
describes tacit knowledge and how it is normally applied.</span><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"> </span><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">I want to increase awareness of the vast
amount of information and wisdom that we stockpile between our ears.</span><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"> </span><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">Attached is a coupon for a discounted price for
the book, if ordered directly from the publisher. If you read the book, please give me some feedback, because this is a really hard topic to understand and I will probably have to keep working on it.
