Powerlessness of Knowledge: Knowledge of Powerlessness

Homeowners True Blue Series 1

Narrado por: Paul Tshihamba

'Powerlessness of Knowledge, Knowledge of Powerlessness' is a personal guide as it concerns homeowners, and similarly situated household heads in the US. This special message carefully deciphers why so many private home decision-makers are vulnerable to home improvement fraud, while an exclusive segment successfully averts it. Most importantly, it debunks the notion that what we know about avoiding home improvement fraud is in and of itself 'power' to do so. That isn't always the case, since even when there's apparent awareness of widely circulated preventative data for averting these improprieties by some malicious companies and individuals, many residents falter on enforcing what they know better not to do.

Subsequently despite that 'knowledge' relative to guarding against it, they fall victim. This is because they didn't implement that awareness. In short, what they knew was rendered useless. This is the crux of what's meant by the 'powerlessness' of knowledge. Despite what they knew, this potential for deflecting scandal wasn't used. And there's quite a bit discussion about how and why that happens, and how and why private home decision-makers may want to translate what's known into manifestations of motive force.

Special Note: The ‘Homeowners True Blue Series’ is a classic collection of eight salvaged transcripts from virtual podcasts the author produced prior to 2020. These were edited in recent times because of grammatic, spacing, punctuation, and structural errors, then re-published in print, and re-produced in audio. Most importantly, each rendition offers a historical perspective into how and why bad contractors were able to finagle private households.

CAVEAT: TODAY, we're revisited by the same rogue practices used by dishonest contracting entities and individuals.

Some are still at it. And they have prodigies. Finally, in this work, you'll vicariously experience home improvement tragedies of others, and hopefully be inspired to avoid the same mistakes.
