TOK notes 2-06-02 Wednesday

The question discussed was:

Does making a knowledge claim carry any particular obligation or
responsibility for the knower?

So if you have a piece of knowledge some questions that should be asked 
are:

1) Does anyone "need" to know?
2) Would anyone benefit from this knowledge?
3) Does anyone deserve to know?

Another important question regarding these three is:

Who is qualified to answer the questions posted above?

One of the sentiments expressed was that generally, you are best off
the more everyone knows.

Another question to ask is, even if you discover something, is it
necessarily your information to disseminate, or choose not to give?

Ultimately though, in real life, whether you are qualified to answer
some of these questions or not, you still have to try to the best of
your ability.

Perhaps you are responsible to tell if others are in danger or could
stand to benefit from the information.

Maybe the goal should be utilitarian: the best for the most people.

One other question posed:

Why do rules about disseminating information etc. change during war?
And is that justified? How so?
