The Fragmentation of Knowledge

Figure 5 in Chapter 1 illustrated the complete fragmentation of knowledge among the scientific and humanities disciplines and sub-disciplines. In Figure 13 I illuminate how the collective intelligence and cognitive science communities might address this fragmentation in the effort to realize a shared goal of creating a World Brain and Global Game.

Figure 13: Concept for Achieving a Unity of Knowledge21

Even before the digital information explosion, the rapid expansion of scientific, social scientific, and humanities knowledge led to the fragmentation of academic disciplines, and then increasing fragmentation as sub-disciplines developed. Figure 14 depicts how little of the knowledge that exists can be accessed via online search, the default option for all too many people. Add 183 languages in which knowledge is created, and the Babel factor is a multiple order of magnitude worse than a quarter century ago.22
