The Tree of Knowledge is the collection of all things known to the human race. The species knowledge of humanity. Our collective knowledge. It is the sum total of all human knowledge.
The Tree of Knowledge is what separates us from the animals. We are able to communicate and share information and it is this collection of information that defines who we are as a species. What is the difference between humanity today and humanity 500 years ago? It's our Tree of Knowledge. Because of the Tree of Knowledge we know how to fly - how to use electricity - know how to build computers - and know how to cure diseases. If we as a species adhere to the Principle of Positive Evolution then in the future our Tree of Knowledge will be bigger than it is today and we will all live in a better world. We will be able to do things that we can't do today. The Tree of Knowledge is central to the Church of Reality and we as Realists dedicate our existence to the service of the Tree.
