Hi Neil We use to understand there is a kind of subject-object play when talking about "knowledge". Then comes to my mind this "I", or "we", first persons in certain relationship with those "objects" we declare to know.
When adding sugar to my coffee (a lot), I "know" the difference between both status, before and after the sugar. But then, comes certain kind of knowledge, which is hard coded, for instance genes, where that subject-object relationship seems to vanish. We embody "Mother Nature", as the instance "knowing" how to revert the code to the uncoded position. And She certainly "knows". Something "knows", although I disbelieve that something is a subject. Even when saying "I", the object I point when referring to me is very elusive.
