In an open system (including political, economic & environmental systems) the science is never settled about what will happen in the future.

That's not an excuse for ignoring scientific study of those open systems but we need to be mindful that it could change, for better or worse. #OpenKnowledge

When we reach a conclusion shouldn't it always be provisional?

"Sense-making is important, but perhaps even more important is the realization that it is an ongoing process. Our current conclusions are always the best we can do in the present moment."

Science is an ongoing process of testing, measuring, checking, comparing & challenging (TMC3). So it's important to recognise when dealing with open systems - such as climate - that the system & scientific knowledge about it can change, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.

"Academia’s duty to protect open knowledge like that produced on Wikipedia is grounded in its privileged position within and structural connection to knowledge."

Helen Choi writes about the challenges Wikipedia faces in the era of #AI and calls on academics to defend #OpenKnowledge.

In Wikimedia terminology, this is 'primary source acquisition'.

Much of this work depends on individuals who recognise the value of sharing their knowledge, texts, media, and personal archives. Their willingness to contribute makes these addition to open knowledge possible. (n/n)
