… and in any event the subjectivity of the human subject precludes the possibility of science discovering o_b_j_e_c_t_i_v_e t_r_u_t_h. (perhaps a little POPPER, WITTGENSTEIN or some PIAGET might be helpful? / emphasis by me; the simplicity almost hurts).

�There is a sense in which if one sees modernism as the culture of modernity, postmodernism is the culture of postmodernity� (Sarup 1993). – when I was younger, this was referred to as tautology – the polite German version was ‘semantische Leerformel’ – it might be the case that even the postmodern reader will find her/himself in a position to be able to conclude that there are other terms that fit as well)

“Post-modern attacks of ethnography are based on the belief that there is no true objectivity. Scientific method is not possible.” — strong proposition – perhaps some POPPER might help again – ah – erm – no … this is pre-historic.

to the rules:

1. this once read – one must know the places where to find the information, not the facts
2. build your semantic network to enable it to infer the proper sources
3./4. store what is relevant – inference engine (or procedural knowledge, if that matters) and data/knowledge
5.this is a rule that is inconsistent with the others, thus does not fit in here and beside even more historical than most of the other ‘rules’
6.this is marketing – not very original either

KM mgrs have to address the fact that they are effectively competing for attention, and that the reluctance of their charges stems from both ingrained attitudes as well as from a learned skepticism towards “corporate practices”, too often just empty policies.
Yet this list is astonishingly accurate. Typical Pollard.
