RLS 3-2-1

First Order Knowledge Claims:


  • "The US Library of Congress accepted a 'translation' into emoji of Herman Melville's Moby Dick."
  • "He and his team created 176 characters, 12 pixels square."
  • "It wasn't until 2006 that the three networks came to some kind of consensus."


Second Order Knowledge Claims:


  • The fact that emojis are about embellishment and added context is based on the seemingly obvious claim that emojis are capable of conveying ideas, information, and feelings.

An example of this is that there is no Easter Egg, but a Kadomatsu (A Japanese Pine decoration associated with New Year) is present among the options. 

Knowledge Question: 

To what extent can people communicate ideas through chat trends and emoji?

This is an outdated theory for its limitations are significant. For instance, it is mostly seen that the reaction occurs before the actual emotion. However, this common idea (could be regarded as a second-order knowledge claim) is directly opposed by the Cannon-Bard Theory. It however manages t...
