Something I've learned
We can assume, deduce, use our scorpionic third eye seeing powers to pin things we have seen in the realm of whatever to see what or who or something or the other on people
But,
we still know nothing.
And lately, I come to this site to remind myself what sort of abyss there is at the end of the tunnel of trying to know what you do not know.
Very insightful.

We know nothing yet for an instance we know everything. In a world that is ever changing and in constant flux, where knowledge is convoluted by those who provide it, knowing what something truly means would mean to at least get close to experiencing it or actually delving into deep deep research yourself. However it isn't the attainment of knowledge that should be fulfilling, it should be the journey for it teaches us everything we need to know about us, and life.*ASSUMING THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT*
Hardly, but you've reminded me of something! The shovel of knowledge never stops digging. The deeper you go, the more you bury yourself in nothing.

What are you alluding to then?

The fact that we know nothing.
Even the road to achieving knowledge is not known. So, how can we journey on it?
Heres a question for you..
Now that you have awakened...
Unbound by the illusion mankind has made for itself.
What now?

Exactly!
I hope you're not asking me, personally, because I don't know.
lol

That proclamation itself is vague, what exactly don't we know though? Or better yet what exactly are you referencing that we don't know? Because we know many things, and these things help us function in our daily lives. Now deeper knowledge of the world and this life, yeah we most likely don't know much of it. But we know things. Or else we wouldnt exist much longer. We're vessels of knowledge.

Thanks for being a great sport.
I was referring to our inability to know people when they come on here in my first post, but then I've been thinking about it too. This life, the sort of illusion we live in.
For instance, we go to school to acquire the ability to help us read and write. We have decided achieving the ability to communicate through this media is knowledge. That doesn't mean we know how to communicate, it just means we think we have that knowledge.
Have you ever wondered why we are not born speaking? Why kids mimic sounds before they're able to refine their words? I wonder, if perhaps, we could communicate telepathically and yet we have limited ourselves to speaking and writing.
Just an example of my musings though.
To know, is to know that you know nothing.
That is the meaning of true knowledge.

Oh, yeah. 😄
Healthy respect for the Infinite.
Humans. We try to validate, understand, find meaning, find connection...in the end it's all subjective. What you read in a book that's written by another human, always with varying degrees of disagreement..coming to a site where we try to make sense of people, based on variables that seem to have some kind of common connection...yet don't.
I dislike anti-knowledge sentiment. It's a form of self-loathing, which I find objectionable. We DO know things, but not everything. And we continue to learn. What is important isn't to understand that we know nothing, but to be able to distinguish that which is known from that which isn't, can't, or shouldn't be known.

Not to raise a dead thread, but this is helluva funny post.

It wasn't meant to make you laugh, but I'm glad it entertained you.
It's all about filling in the empty spaces. It's like this with our normal human lives, and the entire universe as a whole. Only with both the universe and our lives we never get to completely full these spaces because time makes sure we die first. But hey, there's still cheesecake.
