data is data

information is processed data

knowledge is processed information

yr mamma is..?

its is it's is it is?

By what means is data/information processed?

are you asking for the most common means? as in by people or computer? or are you asking in what way? which would depend on the type of data.. Computers are ultimately man made so the most likely answer to yr question is by human powar.

I'm saying it takes thought to process data into knowledge. Knowledge isn't thought-free. We're getting very far from my original reply. The "subvertive" nature of science isn't the subversion of data but the subversion of the interpretation of data and it is the same way in philosophy. I hate it when people dismiss philosophy as all navel-gazing and not understand that philosophy is very much relevant to practical knowledge in the most everyday sense.

how long has it been since you've spoken to someone irl?

just as information to process for my knowledge bank.

Less than a minute ago.

Pretty condescending question, though.

I try my best.

I don't dislike you. I just think this type of discussion is so far from what is important in this thread./

It's unfortunate that what I want to discuss is not what you care to read.

no worries. :) you'll learn.

I'm sorry was fine, you didn't need to insert any other words.

But I really wasn't so...

love you.
