The document discusses the need to industrialize and commercialize knowledge production in order to make it accessible to all of humanity. Currently, knowledge production is treated as a cottage industry and attributed divinity, denying access to most. The author proposes treating knowledge as a product for mass consumption and industrial production, allowing a tenfold increase in accessibility at one tenth the cost. He formulated theories in 1984 to approach knowledge this way and developed a system for mass producing and globally marketing knowledge modules, founding the field of Knowmatics. Industrializing knowledge production could revolutionize education, research and productivity.

1. DR. RAJU M. MATHEW

2.  Humanity, even in the twenty first century lives in the age prior
to the growth of modern science and industrialization with
regard to Knowledge. We live in the Dark Age in our approach
towards Knowledge. Even the high tech and resourceful
universities follow the methods similar to that of Aristotle’s
Academy!
 Just like the country craftsmen in the Middle Age, men and
women produce knowledge just like a cottage industry,
according to the taste and convenience of some individuals. This
is true with regard to universities and research institutes.
 There is no scientific approach towards the consumption,
production and delivery or marketing of knowledge.
Superstations and black magic prevail in the production of
knowledge and Divinity has been attributed to Knowledge.

3.  It is time for Industrialization of Knowledge Production for Mass
Consumption, just like any products -tooth brush or motor car
or smart phone or tablet.
 For the unscientific approach and superstations prevail among
scientists or academics, Divinity has been attributed to
knowledge.
 In the Age of Ignorance and Mass Illiteracy, people considered
men with knowledge or great teachers or poets as the Divine
Men or the Spokesmen of the God. Even in the 21st century,
‘god-men’ or ‘god-women’ thrive in the selected pockets of
ignorance or superstations.
 Knowledge creation or knowledge delivery or communication is
just a human faculty like that of a poet or artist and there is
nothing divinity in Knowledge. There is no need to link
knowledge with education or even literacy. We had great illiterate
poets or inventors or innovators and we have even ‘Doctors or
Ph. Ds without any expertise!

4.  For the absence of the suitable tools, systems,
methods and technology to industrialize and
commercialize the production, marketing and
consumption of knowledge, divinity has been
attributed to knowledge.
 Access and use of knowledge have been left to
the idiosyncrasies of individuals. Over 80% of
the humanity has been denied the access and
application of knowledge, for, knowledge
empowers the poor and marginalized,
especially the youth and women.

5.  Attributing Divinity to knowledge is a strategy to
deny the access of knowledge to the millions of
common people which is based on the ideology of
‘chosen people’, the basis of Fascism.
 The existing education systems all over the world
have been founded on the ideology of ‘chosen
people’, that is, knowledge is meant for the selected
few and not for the common people.
 As a result quality school education and higher
education become the exclusive privilege of the
chosen few and not meant for the common people.
Quality education is getting unaffordable to the
millions of children and youth all over the world so as
to keep them weak and subservient .

6.  The only way to make knowledge accessible to the entire
humanity and to increase its production and consumption is
to treat knowledge as products for mass consumption,
industrial production and global marketing.
 On this premise, Mathew in 1984 formulated his two theories
of knowledge : the theory of knowledge consumption -
production correlation and the stage theory of knowledge
consumption-production growth, after developing the
methodological tools to treat knowledge as a product for
mass consumption, industrial production and global
marketing.
 They got published from Moscow in 1984 by the USSR
Academy of Sciences for the FID Committee on Research on
the Theoretical basis of Information Science. Now they are
known as ‘Mathew’s Theories of Knowledge’. They became
the basis of Knowmatics in which Knowledge Industry has
been built up.

7.  Mathew, after conducting research for more than twenty five
years, developed the system, technology and business model
for the mass and industrial production and global marketing
of knowledge products – knowledge modules, packages and
solutions.
 When knowledge is produced and marketed on an industrial
and commercial basis, a ten fold increase in the accessibility
and application of knowledge on a global basis at one tenth
cost can be made possible.
 This is the beginning of a New Revolution in School and
University Education, Scientific Research, Professional
Practices besides getting almost all social production
processes knowledge-intensive and thereby greater
productivity.
