The classical knowledge distinctions on Gor tend to follow caste lines, the first knowledge being regarded as appropriate for the lower castes and the second knowledge for the higher castes. - (Kajira of Gor, Chapter 33, Sentence #782)

"That Earth is real is in the second knowledge," said one of the men, a fellow wearing the yellow of the Builders, a high caste. "I was taught that, too," said the fellow with him, also in the yellow of the Builders. "Do you think it is really true?" "I suppose so," said the first man. The classical knowledge distinctions on Gor tend to follow caste lines, the first knowledge being regarded as appropriate for the lower castes and the second knowledge for the higher castes. That there is a third knowledge, that of Priest-Kings, is also a common belief. The distinctions, however, between knowledge tend to be somewhat imperfect and artificial. For example, the second knowledge, while required of the higher castes and not of the lower castes, is not prohibited to the lower castes. - (Kajira of Gor)
