thoughts on knowledge

[JeenYuss]

i heard sumthin bout a wise man saying sumthin bout knowledge coming from understanding the fact that we know nothing

i think that humans know everything, every answer to every question ever asked is somewhere in the human mind, someone just hasent thought of it yet

anyone else have thoughts on this?

Humans cannot KNOW, they can only THINK.


no matter how much you THINK you know, you can know only what you think, however you cannot know you even DO think. you just think you think.



just remember, i dont KNOW this. i just think it.

or possibly made it better

That's pretty much how I think. I try to experience as much as possible, to expand my outlook....

if we where able to use 100% of our brain then we will know everything about everything and probably we will have sum powers buuuuut we only use 10 or less % of our brain so we only know 1-2 % of all things to know so in smaller words we dont shit.......

What's to know? We are born, we experience life, then we die and do it all over again.

That's a myth actually. We do use our entire brain. Not all of it at the same time, and we don't know what all of it does exactly, but it doesn't just lie dormant. It's doing something, but damned if we know what it is.

Socrates did indeed say that if he was considered wiser than other men it was only because he knew that he knew nothing, but it seemed you were saying something else.
Although come to think of it, in the socratic dialogue the Meno, (you might have to look under Plato to find it) Socrates explains how all learning is simply a matter of remembering what you already know. And demonstrates this through teaching a slave basic geometry.
It's not exactly a pageturner... but maybe its similar to what you had in mind?
