When is it okay to give an answer to someone as opposed to making them find it for themselves? It is question critical in child rearing, teaching, and in organizing information. Dave Weinberger posted a recent article wondering whether or not suggested and controlled vocabularies (pre-built tags and taxonomies) might make us dumber. Do they keep us from thinking for ourselves, he asks? In this radio broadcast, I’ll talk about the notion of “partial answers” that help people get to their final destination. In other words, I believe we can help without necessarily creating harmful ignorance or dangerous dependence.
