Catbert on Knowledge

For a larger version, simply click on the comic strip above.

Questions & issues to consider:

A) In the third frame, Catbert says, "Stress is just another word for knowledge." What does this comment imply about knowledge (e.g. its nature, its basis, its consequences, etc.)? Do you agree or disagree? Why?

B) In the fourth frame, Catbert asks the quintessential TOK question, "How do I know that?" about his (her?) statement from the third frame. But are there any frames in the strip that the question would not apply to? What does this say about the nature of knowledge, or knowing?
C) What do you make of the mantra that Catbert recites in the next to last frame of the strip? What do you conclude is the artist's message here? Do you agree or disagree? Why?
