Justified true belief is one definition of knowledge that states in order to know that a given proposition is true, one must not only believe the relevant true proposition, but one must also have justification for doing so

I think that the challenge the world is facing in right now is to help each other in this time where nature pays back on humanity because of the history that proved how our ancestors were very abusive of the earth.

Abraham Lincoln once said that, “With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds. . . to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting pea” That thought isn't limited to one aspect of life alone. Through it all, we have each other to help ourselves. That is "true connection." :)

It would be interesting to develop a useful taxonomy of knowledge that related scientific knowledge to local knowledge, indigenous knowledge, tacit knowledge, etc. I find the use of an adjective to define the institution in which knowledge is construed to be useful: scientific, judiciary, legislative, bureaucratic, religious, etc. Then one can speak of the institutional knowledge system, and the epistemological tools that the institution has systematized to help in the social construction of knowledge.
