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 :(
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.
Admitting to not knowing everything is an act of humility that not everyone is capable of, especially in this age of arrogance.
„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
That’s nothing new.
Just ask the Greeks.
I don’t know anything ever.
It’s really quite relaxing.
