Eli Pariser on Knowledge - Dictionary of Arguments

I 114
Knowledge/Information/Filter/Pariser: what we do not know does not have to be as big a problem as what we do not know we don't know. Former US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld once described this as the "unknown unknown". (1)
Problem/Pariser: personalized filters can interfere with our ability to understand the world because they change our understanding of cards ((s) in the way you can erroneously believe yourself on an island). Even more disturbing is the fact that they remove blanks and transform known unknowns into unknown unknowns.
I 115
Problem/Pariser: you cannot zoom out of a personalized filter.


1. Zitiert nach Wikipedia: (Original engl.: "[...] there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns - the ones we don't know we don't know." defense.gov transcript, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiPe1OiKQuk)
