Nelsonian Knowledge

The Ethical Skeptic describes Nelsonian knowledge “as the virtual forbidden knowledge, which betrays its possession through one’s exacting efforts to avoid it in the first place. Nelsonian knowledge involves a keen prowess in knowing what to not-know, where to not-look and how not-to-look at it. As regards the poseur, intelligence cannot be derived from the ‘reliable’ sources they choose to examine. Rather it is often those sources which they conspicuously choose to avoid, which tend to offer the greatest probative potential.”
