Meta-Knowledge
( 2. Systematicity and Discreteness )



As we know, there is a lot of content about 
meta-knowledge.

For example, the relevance of knowledge, the
instrumentality of knowledge, and the limitations 
of personal knowledge , all of these have all been 
discussed in my article, so I will not repeat them.


This article discusses the systematicity and 
discreteness of knowledge


One of the most proud performances by a 
gang of pseudo scholars who always want 
to ruin our TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) 
is to flaunt the systematic and rigorous nature 
of their professional knowledge. 

At the same time, they describe a large number 
of facts that our TCM treat many diseases 
effectively as individual cases, legends, and so on. 

And in this way, they can fragment and discretize 
all the knowledge about our TCM, and then say 
that the treatment methods of our TCM are not 
systematic, unreasonable, and so on.

Actually, their tricks are really pitiful !


Even if the facts from TCM are scattered knowledge,
is it really worthless ?


Or let's review the history of smallpox virus again:


As all of us know, smallpox was once a highly 
contagious disease that claimed the lives of 
hundreds of millions of people.

At the end of the 18th century, British doctor 
Jenna learned of a widely accepted statement  
among the dairy workers and farmers in his area:

Cowpox is a minor disease of cattle, but it can 
also be transmitted to people.  but if one is 
infected with cowpox, he will never get 
smallpox again.


At that very time, if such a statement had been 
considered as an unprofessional shouting, at best 
just some worthless discrete knowledge point, 
then the history of smallpox would have had to be
completely rewritten.

However, Jenner realized that vaccinating people 
with vaccinia was a safe way to immunize them 
against smallpox if this discrete knowledge point 
said by the local dairy workers and farmers were
right .

So Jenner made a careful investigation and study 
of this  discrete knowledge point.

In 1796, he was finally convinced that such a
discrete knowledge point said by dairy workers 
and farmers were correct, so he decided to 
test it directly .

In this way, Doctor Jenner carried out rational 
analysis, scientific experiments, and careful 
evaluation of such a discrete knowledge point .

At last, Jenner had effectively promoted 
the development of human immunology, and
also effectively promoted the development of 
medical science .

In the end, humans effectively ended the deadly 
infectious disease of smallpox in this way !

It is worth noting that such a widely accepted 
statement among local dairy workers and 
farmers at that time was at best a discrete 
point of knowledge, and it is commendable
that Dr. Jenner, as a professional, did not 
underestimate this discrete point of knowledge.

It was his medical practice spirit that transformed 
this inconspicuous discrete point of knowledge 
into a miracle of medical science ! 


Now look at that gang of pseudo scholars around 
us, they always disdain the large number of facts
that our TCM can treat  effectively many diseases . 

In order to deny the effectiveness and scientificity 
of our TCM treatment methodsthat gang of 
pseudo scholars try their most to say many facts 
as a few and then turn a few facts into none .

In other words, they first describe a large number 
of facts as scattered cases, and then deliberately 
dishonestly deny every  one !

But from the history of human resistance against 
smallpox, it can be seen that a certain type of 
knowledge inevitably has a certain discrete 
characteristic when initially recognized, that is, 
knowledge may not always present its 
systematicity, rigor, and immutability from the 
beginning !

And often it is these less systematic and less 
rigorous discrete knowledge that inspire people's 
problem-solving ideas, leading to technological
breakthroughs, application breakthroughs, and 
theoretical breakthroughs. 

Ultimately, these discrete knowledge were refined 
and made an important component of scientific 
theory.

And this reflects the dialectical unity between the
discreteness and systematicity of knowledge.


But that gang of pseudo scholars who try their 
most to ruin our TCM always treat all examples 
of effective treatment of diseases in TCM as 
sporadic cases and discard each case. 

They never consider the effectiveness and 
scientific nature of TCM treatment, ignore the 
pain and helplessness of similar patients, and 
value the authority of their own limited 
knowledge more important than the patient's 
life! 


This way of thinking is a foolish inversion of 
the cart before the horse ! 

Thus, their professional level mostly stops at 
something called "Just So So " .


Actually, any doctor who truly puts patients into 
his mind will cherish any effective treatment case, 
without distinguishing whether the treatment case 
comes from TCM or Western medicine, nor will 
they distinguish whether the treatment case comes
from the East or the West, even if it is just an
 "anecdote" ! 


So, if someone thinks his professional knowledge 
is very systematic and rigorous, and uses it as an
right to deny the constantly emerging large number
of facts, then he is  using professional knowledge 
as a prop to deceive patients and not responsible 
for patients ! 


Of course, it should be admitted that such 
pseudo scholars are very intelligent so that 
they will not use this method to deal with 
their own profession, they  only use this method 
to ruin  our TCM !


And yet, we should often remind ourselves that 
the accumulation of knowledge is not necessarily 
linearly ordered, but is likely to be disordered, 
jump like, or discretely distributed.
