491008 -       This is another KM dilemma reflecting binary forces of existence

491011 -       effort. ref DIT 1 5T5F  The strategy is to strengthen human
491012 -       cognition by moving up from information to a culture of
491013 -       knowledge.  Giving people control over lower levels of organic
491014 -       structure accomplishes this objective. Like alphabet technology
491015 -       that enables IT, KM comes at some cost and risk, but the net

661008 -            Some applications using SDS are psychologically demanding,
661009 -            as explained on 011206, ref SDS 66 QY6F, but the
661010 -            consequences of not doing the work is even more stressful,
661011 -            painful and costly, as seen by events on 010911.
661012 -            Therefore, on balance, SDS is the easiest of the two
661013 -            choices. ref DIT 1 N67J  People are not flocking to use
661014 -            SDS, because they are ignorant about the power of
661015 -            intelligence, and so hope to get by avoiding
661016 -            accountability, since the consequences of failed
661017 -            intelligence is deferred and transferred to others, as seen
661018 -            by events on 010911.  Right now there is a mood that
661019 -            intelligence may be necessary after all.  We want to
661020 -            capitalize on that mood to teach people the power of
661021 -            intelligence is worth the effort to learn a new way of
661022 -            working, so they can get by a higher level of cognitive
661023 -            power, i.e., knowledge rather than information.
