If anyone actually read the Karnivool interviews (countless google results with videos/magazines etc) you would find the answer.

<Interviewer>: How about "All I Know"?

Kenny: "All I Know," I think that kind of stemmed from some ideas that Jon [Stockman] had on his bass that kind of, I guess he had that whole sort of pulse to it, that whole sort of anchor . . . I guess was the birth of that song, and the rest of it was work-shopped around and has that whole ethereal, sort of floating feel to it. Yet again, that's a kind of bit of a call to arms again, I think, about what we could be capable of if we all get connected at some point as a race and as people, it'd be a collective conscience and a collective mind would be frigging phenomenally powerful if we harnessed that one day. I know we will, I'm just not sure the best way we'll get there with that.

<Interviewer>: Is there a particular philosophy that you guys study, or religion, or that's just your collective thinking?

Kenny: That's just our collective thinking but it's actually free thinking. I mean, we don't ever hold ourselves to any sort of [idea of] this or this or this. It's absolutely free thinking, and thinking of the bigger picture outside ourselves and what we're capable of and questioning everything. Questioning all of it and questioning where we're going and curiosity, too, of what really lies ahead of us all. It's a number of things but not really religion as such. If anything, I collectively think we're anti-religion. I think there's all kinds of pros in my experience, but that's not really a topic for us, as such.
