They are robust for their cultural acceptance, not their truth.
We do not know where we are going.

Learning is experiential. You can transmit knowledge but you can't store it. Knowledge is cultural and collective.
Information has no expectations. Information does not shape our expectations. The normative aspects of structures are there all over. You create the structures and they have consequences.
