How Much Do We Know? A Review of What the Bleep Do We Know: Discovering the Endless Possibilities for Altering Your Everyday Reality

Abstract

I was fortunate to lay hold on a concrete copy of this book What the Bleep Do We Know: Discovering the Endless Possibilities for Altering Your Everyday Reality by William Artnz, Betsy Chasse, and Mark Vicente. Reading the blurb on the back cover page gave me an insight into the work. I was really curious to read the content of the book. I could imagine the set up of the movie, the setting, the actors, the costume, the actions, the peak and the crescendo or catharsis as we studied in literature. “It is after going through the book that I will stand at a better position to critic and also to believe or disbelieve the ideas posed”, I said to myself. So I reserved further comments until I read the book through, cover to cover, myself. After going through I decided to make it public by reviewing it for publication. A copy of the book is available at Babcock University Library, Ilishan Remo, Ogun State, Nigeria.

What we know we know.

What we know we don’t know.

What we don’t know we don’t know.

Given that we are only aware of 2, 000 BITS of information out of the 400 BILLION BITS of information we are processing per second…

When we argue against new knowledge how much of our “awareness” is arguing?

How can we know everything about all the things we don’t know?

The above quotations are the opening statements on the first few preliminary pages of the book What the Bleep Do We Know: Discovering the Endless Possibilities for Altering Your Everyday Reality. The book was also a text form of a movie What the Bleep Do We Know incorporating Jack Forem and Ellen Erwin. Reading the blurb at the back cover one is tasked to think deeper than he has been thinking. Read! “This is a book of mind-stretching questions that will encourage you to explore yourself and your life outside the realm of your everyday existence”.
