I campaign to keep the word GROK alive into the next generation and beyond. This
"Martian" word (invented by the SF writer, Robert Heinlein) shares
its meaning with the Sanskrit word jnana and the Greek gnosis. It is an utterly comprehensive meaning, which the philosopher Franklin
Merrill-Wolff calls “Knowledge through Identity.”
In other words, knowing directly—knowing
by BEING—rather than merely “knowing about.”
Do you grok what I'm saying?
