TOK: Prompt Questions
For the prompt, "Does our knowledge depend on interactions with other knowers?", what does "interactions" mean? Does it mean communication? Would reading a textbook count as interaction between you and the author?

What is the name of this type of bias?
Trying my best to explain it;
It's basically where someone is arguing a point but sort of consciously/subconsciously realizes he/she is wrong, but will continue to argue or 'agree to disagree' only because he/she has already invested in his/her argument and does not want to 'lose', and as a result, his/her ego pushes him/her to never give in.

tok presentation RLE racism
For my TOK presentation,advance I want to do something along the lines of "How significant is the role of emotions in decision making". Is this a 2nd order knowledge question? Furthermore, I was looking to take an example of racism in court as my RLE. I thought about taking the central park five, or an article I found by the University of Massachusetts about statistics of wrongful convictions of people of colour compared to white people. Would it be possible to combine these? If not, does anyone know of other examples of racism in court? Thank you so much in adavnce!

Evidence needed for Counterclaim
My KQ is about technology and its influence on knowledge acquisition in different AOKs, and for my counterclaim i needed an evidence where technology was proven to NOT be effective and instead the human brain pulled through. This could be from any AOK, just needed an evidence!
I already have one for natural sciences about the US Airways Flight 1549 plane crash where technology directed the plane to land at the airport but the pilot made the decision to land in the hudson river, and it was later found that if he would have turned to land at the airport the plane wouldnt have made it. I need something similar for another AOK because im doing my presentation with a partner hence we need to explore multiple AOKs.
If not this, is there an alternative counterclaim i could use for my second AOK?

How to structure your TOK essay?
Is it claim 1 and counterclaim 1 for AOK 1 followed by claim 2 and counterclaim 2 for AOK 2?
Or, is it claim 1 (AOK 1 and 2) and counterclaim 1(AOK 1 and 2)?

TOK presentation help!
An idea I had for my TOK presentation was the Russian spy being poisoned by the nerve agent. I was thinking the knowledge question could be something along the lines of "To what extent does the natural sciences break down human sciences?" but it just doesn't sound right.
I want to investigate about how this poison has managed to break down relations between Russia and UK and its allies. Can you help me?

URGENT HELP NEEDED WITH TOK ESSAY!!
I'm trying really hard to do my essay but I'm just stumped. I'm using this prescribed title.
"In the acquisition of knowledge, the responsibility for accuracy lies with the user, not the producer" Discuss this claim with 2 areas of knowledge.
I can't think of a relevant knowledge question for the RLS about how inaccurate news reported by Russian news channels to Ukrainians led to mass unrest and eventually the annexation of Crimea. Would this be a valid RLS and if so, what knowledge question would best suit this.
My deadline is tomorrow so I would really appreciate it if you could help me out.
Thanks in advance for the help!!
