How’s that quote go? “There’s a growing sentiment in the US that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
Yep… I feel smart knowing that I don’t know shit about so many subjects but I know our society doesn’t work that way, and it makes me sad. Combine this with “ignorance is bliss” and now I feel sad because of what I do know :(
Admitting to not knowing everything is an act of humility that not everyone is capable of, especially in this age of arrogance.
Not true, it holds great value to myself. I remind myself all the time whenever I feel haughty, or that someone else is less, that I myself know nothing. Its an antidote to your head in the clouds.
That’s nothing new.
Just ask the Greeks.
„I known that I don’t know the unknowns“ is even more valuable. This sentence can be said by mastery only. See the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect
I don’t know anything ever.
It’s really quite relaxing.
