Dear Knowers,

People may tell you that you don’t need to know facts when you can search on Google or ask Siri. They might tell you you’re “wasting bandwidth” on knowing all the state capitals.

But I think it’s better to know something than to not know something.

Big ideas emerge out of lots of pieces of knowledge put together. Either you can make your own big ideas with your own knowledge, or you can just believe someone else’s big ideas.

I know what I’d prefer.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
