Manipulative knowledge

Claim 
Manipulative knowledge gives control at the expense of wisdom. It results in skilled craftsmen learning how to reshape surfaces without gaining any deep understanding of interiors. It is always exercised at the outer margins of reality. Since it is based on cognition of control, it does not easily lend itself to creative insight and revelatory experience, which call for the cognition of surrender.
