Knowing and Not Knowing

Published on 30 April 2024 at 13:03

Be wary of becoming attached to ideas and concepts--especially simplifications of them--thinking they explain, in an ultimate sense, that which is deeper. Consider how surface level they actually are. It is very easy to erroneously believe the ultimate depths of knowledge and wisdom have been acquired. 

Every human being is subject to delusion, no matter how bright. It is intelligent but deceitful sorts who can fool others into believing they are all-knowing and that no one can convince them otherwise. The deception is not exclusive to others; they actively deceive themselves and are so used to self-deception that they can absolutely become unaware of it. If and when the cracks to this fortress-like deception are detected and poked at, it is highly likely they will erupt into a doubling down that reveals what cretins they actually are.
