Tribal Knowledge -vs- Bookish knowledge

Tribal knowledge: It the tacit knowledge gained by doing some thing hands on. It is passed across from generation to generation implicitly. This knowledge gets embedded in the DNA. This forms the foundation or start point for all books.

Books : Are an assimilation of the same Tribal knowledge. They edited & structured explicitly in a presentable manner.

Books lack the "Tacit" behind the knowledge. To learn "Tacit Part", respect people who have tribal knowledge & be willing to work with them to get you DNA corrected.
