Title: The more you know.... Special to ralul
Post by: vilde on 2013/11/30, 11:50:07

Yesterday I red the signature or whatever it's called on raluls messages on this forum,

experiencing siduction runs better than my gentoo makes me know I know nothing

I thought about that (Yes, I have nothing else to do and am also a little crazy).  Aristoteles mentioned this first off all:

Quote

The more you know, the more you know you don't know

If you extract that to a very high knowledge there must be a point that you find out that you, at least nearly, know nothing. To get over that point, to realize that you really know nothing must then be the point when you actually know everything, that must be Nirvana. This point must be where ralul is right now, how does it feel to be there on the top ralul  :)


To make things clear, this is a try to be a little funny on a language that I don't really know or to have some fun discussion on this forum. My intention is not to offend ralul if something it's the opposite.

Obviously, the more you know, the more you realise how much more there is to know and you realise you will never know it all.

The more you know, the more you know what you have already known and forgotten. That is called aging. Or to tell the youth the truth: I forgot more than you'll ever know.

Yes, and then there is the other thing that may or may not be related to knowledge, being wisdom.

Uuuups, me in title  8)

The typical newbie problem, which in all complex knowledge areas shows up:
At first learning a handfull of principles makes you feel to be a specialist already and everything is easy. The real expert will have trouble to discuss issues with you then. There is an english phrase about it, but I have forgotten.

I searched but I only found this list of biased thinking and reasoning:

A very long list of possible failure in our human mind  :-\
