Since When Not-Knowing Implies Knowing?

We go through this world and there’s the little that we do know,

and a whole lot that we don’t.

 

There’s this saying,

Knowledge is power”,

indeed it is,

and we do crave power.

 

It’s is all too easy to go astray in our quest for power

we want more power more knowledge

more certainty more security

ultimately we get more illusions

 

there’s the little that you will know and a whole lot that you never will,

don’t fill the gaps,

you can’t know the unknown

you can’t see what is beyond seeing

you can’t predict what will be

 

This entire quest for knowledge have made you stupid

You know a lot of nonsense

You wanted to know more hence you taught yourself every kind of stupid thing

there’s a clutter of convictions conclusions beliefs “facts” all heaping up in the limited space of your mind

all this useless knowledge have made you stupid,

all this false knowledge have made you stupid.

 

Since when does NOT-KNOWING mean KNOWING?

and yet looking at this world everybody knows everything,

it’s so ridiculous, just go ask around some arbitrary question, you’ll quickly find each reply will be contradictory to the previous and each asserted with utmost certainty (and absurd seriousness)

since when does NOT-KNOWING imply KNOWING?

It would seem the LESS we KNOW the MORE we THINK WE KNOW

 

learn to NOT KNOW

be AWARE ENTIRELY of your NOT KNOWING,

then you know.
