'''Knowledge''' is not defined by [[trolls]].  Even [[Simple Trollish]] does not include this word.  Instead, the [[trollish]] way is to start with the [[ethics]] of a choice, be they ecological, social, economic, or otherwise.  Only once these ethics are known can there be any concept of what is known, and then only about the current situation.  This is much more cautious and is like a [[scientific method]] (when trolls do science they use a much improved form of this).

Because the most basic ethics of any choice are ecological, i.e. "will this destroy the planet [[trolls]] live on or poison the atmosphere they breathe?" it is normal for trolls to filter their beliefs through various alliances and methods of [[consensus decision making]] about [[ecology]], their base religion.
[[Moral choice]] is fundamentally ecological in trollish nature:  that which preserves and increases [[biodiversity]] is moral, that which does not, is immoral. Put another way:


Unless it is published as scientifically acceptable ecology, then, trolls are not likely to accept it as real necessarily, unless it fits in with everything else they '''know'''.

Regarding net discourse:  unless it is published as scientifically acceptable ecology, then, trolls are not likely to accept it as real necessarily, unless it fits in with everything else they '''know'''.
