  • Considering valuable information can come in many forms, our community will do their utmost to find, consolidate, and assemble the knowledge that you’re seeking, no matter how niche, complex or obscure your question is.
  • Everything you need to answer your question, is in one place, the “DoK”, and is instantly delivered to you. This saves you time, effort, and frustration.

Lets go deeper

What is Den of Knowledge?

  • Den of Knowledge is a knowledge marketplace.
  • This knowledge marketplace is meant to connect people seeking specific information to vendors who are capable of providing that specific information via a DoK. (See the next tab "What is a DoK" for more information on what a DoK is).
  • The advantage for seekers is that they can save time and effort by outsourcing the research to vendors and potentially receive better qualified information versus researching on their own.
  • The advantage for vendors, is they can greatly aid and educate seekers by sharing their specific knowledge, while creating a stream of income

What is a DoK?

  • A DoK is an interconnected map of consolidated informational resources that aims to address a question of interest that the seeker can interact with and explore.
  • These informational resources can be anything from scientific papers, YouTube videos, podcasts, blogs posts, threads, documentaries, books, etc, that vendors can thread together to increase the accessibility of this specific information giving the seeker better opportunity for deep understanding.
  • The nature of a DoK allows it to be a tool that can go extremely deep into the topics and questions of interest they aim to address providing an opportunity for the DoK to be the most complete source of information around any topic.
  • For Seekers: A DoK is the the product that helps seekers to quickly receive that specific and valuable information they are looking for.
  • For Vendors: The DoK can act as a living and evolving source of information where they can map out the accumulation of their knowledge around a topic or topics they are aiming to address. "Living" and "evolving" as a DoK can be updated in real time.

Why purchase a DoK?

  • Accessibility of information: Information can now be consumed in so many formats across many platforms. A DoK can consolidate the needed information in one easy and accessible place that opens up new possibilities for greater understanding
  • Save time: Buying a DoK tailored to your specific question can save you 10's if not 100's of hours
  • Receive higher quality information: If you are trying to learn something new, you may not even know where to begin to look, nor have a reference of what quality might mean with regards to your question of interest. Let the vendor pave this path for you and give you the highest quality information from the start
  • The path to deeper understanding: Due to the nature of the DoK, you have the chance explore and discover the potential variables needed to deeply understand all the pieces of information needed to properly answer your question
  • If finding an answer to your question is important to you, then finding and buying the right DoK is for you

Why create a DoK?

  • Share your knowledge: You have your own unique experiences, knowledge, and skills that could help a number of people if you made it accessible by creating DoKs unique to you.
  • Build a stream of income: By creating DoKs around your unique knowledge, you can sell your DoKs to interested buyers and create a stream of income for yourself while helping others.
  • Solidify yourself as an educator: If you are already an educator in any capacity, DoKs can act as your custom textbooks showing the depth of your understanding and pointing your audience in the right direction for deep understanding of the topics you are educating them on.
  • Get paid to learn: DoKs are dynamic and can be continually updated in real time. Therefore, if you just started a learning journey of any kind, track it and #DoKIt and let others join you on your learning adventure so they can take take advantage of the time and hard work you put into it, whatever it may be.
  • We all have knowledge to share and have no idea how valuable it may be to someone else. Why not to find out!

History

The roots of Den of knowledge began with a family story. The house of my grandparents had a small room off to the side often referred to as a Den. This room had two chairs with two rows of shelves filled with many pictures and trinkets, each with their own story. The chairs faced a T.V that would take 2 or 3 burly men to lift (you young ones would not understand). One of those chairs had a permanent reservation for my grandfather making the other a coveted seat. If you were lucky enough to be invited in, under the guise of watching sports, you would begin to hear about the stories, which would trigger hours of conversations and debate. Most importantly, you often walked away smarter, wiser, and probably a little tipsy. But what ever happened in the den, those conversations and knowledge within them stuck with people, eventually leading to my family calling this room the Den of Knowledge.

Denofknowledge.com is meant to be an homage to that room. Den of Knowledge acts as a symbol of those conversations that lead to the knowledge and wisdom that sticks with you. Knowledge that can be applied to improve your life. I hope you, reading this now, are thinking of the rooms, and the places, and the people where you learned something that positively impacted your life. But not everyone is so lucky to have their own Den of Knowledge. Until now.

vision

Short term: Denofknowledge.com aims to connect and facilitate those who seek information around their specific questions, with educators and experts who have that specific information to address the questions. This process allows the seekers to outsource the time it would take to do the research and qualify the information they receive saving them countless hours. 

Mid term:  The growth rate of the internet, in all its forms is, and the increasing skill needed to navigate it, increases the difficulty and complexity for individuals to find the useful information they are looking for. Denofknowledge.com will allow DoK creators (vendors), to link their DoKs to their internet activity, such as social media posts, adding a visual layer of separation between evidence supported information and lower quality information that can be visibly seen, open to anyone, and stratified by free market mechanisms based on the value it gives. If you see the DoK symbol associated with a post, you can follow the link to the DoK that will provide evidence and context of that post.  

Long term: Over time, there will inevitably be many DoK creators aiming to address similar questions. Free market mechanisms will organise the informational resources included within the DoKs in a value hierarchy that is determined from the bottom up. Over enough time, and with enough DoKs and users, Denofknowledge.com will create a mechanism of determining and associating the highest value resources with the topic of interest,  driven from the bottom-up.
