I think looking for "a good knowledge of work" is missing the point of via negativa. It's simple; the essence of it is: "less is more" - in looking to improve your life and enhance your resilience, you're probably better off removing things from it, instead of adding. You don't need to consume more information, on the contrary, you're better off with less information. If you understand the concept, great. That's enough. Go live it. Too much information can just become noise (another good point Taleb makes [1]). [1] The Noise Bottleneck: When More Information is Harmful. (2019, October 22).
