Today, we’re going to take a deep dive into a topic that hits close to home for Andrew Yang’s platform — the future of the trucking industry. With AI rapidly advancing, over 7 million truck drivers could be at risk of losing their jobs next year, making it more important than ever to understand Heidegger’s philosophy of Know-How vs Know-What. So put on your thinking caps and join us on this philosophical journey as we explore the impact of AI on the trucking industry and the importance of valuing human labor.

Heidegger’s Know-How vs Know-What

Heidegger’s concept of Know-How vs Know-What emphasizes the importance of practical understanding and connection to the world around us. In the context of the trucking industry, this means that the practical knowledge and experience of truck drivers is not just about driving a truck, but also about their understanding of the roads, weather conditions, and the people and communities they interact with along the way. Heidegger believed that Know-How was more important than Know-What, as it was grounded in a deeper understanding and connection to the world.
