Spanish saying

01:55 Aug 27, 2021 

An interesting saying or idiom (and one that rings a bell), though its associations include 'rumors' and bits of information, rather than knowledge and its development over time. And in the minds of some, a slightly different meaning may be evoked, involving people who might 'do the rounds' as part of their jobs, or even as part of their social routines at work, going around the office spreading joy y saludos. ;))

@Rafael - Next time, post the source text (ST) directly. Something like "Spanish saying" is covered by the language direction and the options on the dropdown menu. (I hope there's one for Sayings/Idioms.) I'm not sure if or how search results are affected if the glossary entry is just modified accordingly, after the fact, but the standard practice is to post the ST (of course).

It's consistent with the notion that nothing is new, that what little we know, we know it thanks to the collective efforts of humanity, including of course those who came before us. And I agree about 'among us all' and thought of this as well, but I think it's important that the translation clearly reference this idea of how knowledge is obtained, as opposed to it (simply) being shared.

chiefly British, of a rumor, a piece of news, etc. : to be passed from one person to another person and become widely known

Por añadir una posible variación con respecto a otras respuestas planteadas (we know together; we know as a collective; we know among all of us).

Aquí los angloparlantes seguro podrán valorar mejor qué expresión resulta más fácilmente comprensible en tanto que referencia a un conocimiento que no le pertenece a nadie individualmente sino que pertenece a o se sostiene en la humanidad como colectivo de individuos atemporales; a un conocimiento distribuido versus centralizado o individualizado.
