Futurology: Knowledge

Knowledge is crucial in two ways.


 * 1) The more knowledge we have, the better we are at scanning the world around us for any indications of where the world is headed. This allows us to improve our predictions.
 * 2) On a vaster scale, knowledge is critical for the work that members of society need to do. As we go further into the future, this body of knowledge will continue to expand, resulting a few centuries later with the Singularity.
