. The Chinese knowledge empire fell because of their scholars belief that you can move from certainty to certainty, and therefore never developed the possibility system. This fits in line with the common structure today in many businesses (and media/marketing) that every “innovative” move or product should be analyzed and calculated in order to understand cost and benefit before taking the jump into the “unkonwn”. This assumption is luckily being enriched and somewhat sidelined by transformative thinking or design thinking.
