The Making of Knowledge

A lot of people say that you can't make knowledge by your self. They say that you need to talk to other people to make it. In my opinion this is right and wrong.

On one side i think that you can make knowledge by yourself. You can find things out all by yourself. You don't need someone else to help you find out certain things. You don't need to ask someone am i a certain height after you measure yourself, or you don't have to talk to someone about a food tasting good. You know that it tastes good, or your a certain height without talking to someone about it.

But one the other side you wouldn't know somethings without talking to someone before hand. Going back to my first example. You can find out that you are a certain height without asking someone, but you need someone to tell you what that height is. You wouldn't know what height it without someone telling what it is. So i guess in the end you do need to talk to someone to make knowledge. You can't decide something without being taught what that certain thing is, so you need to know these things before you can make new knowledge about these certain topics.
