But this taxonomy (as originally described) omits an important fourth category: unknown knowns, the things we don't know that we know. This category encompasses the knowledge of many of our own personal beliefs, what I call unquestioned defaults.

Does anyone else feel like this just a weird remake of cached thoughts?

Cached thoughts are default answers to questions. Unquestioned defaults are default answers to questions that you don't know exist.

But it may be linked to the concept of question stopers. I assume many unknown knowns lurk behind question stopers.
