Not necessarily. Besides, if that were the case, you would lose the ability to say you've learned anything at all... which, sadly, is also a self-contradiction.

Not necessarily. Besides, if that were the case, you would lose the ability to say you've learned anything at all... which, sadly, is also a self-contradiction. Only someone who knows can make such statements, another self-contradiction, so they wouldn't say them either. If you look in practical cases, people who really master a subject don't seem to have many questions left at all. The real problem is humans have not mastered physics yet.
- dylan604 5y agoThat's like saying you took the first step up a ladder so there's no point in continuing to the next step. That just doesn't follow. Now, you just know you need to know more. The unknown unknowns become the known unknowns so you can learn to make the unknowns known.
- blueprint 5y agoI am saying the precise opposite of that. Saying that you, at your supposed low level, know that you only get more questions the more you learn, is exactly such a statement as you are claiming I am making. From another perspective, the statement sounds like an excuse for not reaching a higher level of mastery that the person admits they don't know humans are capable of. It's a self-contradiction. Thanks for all the downvotes, y'all! Definitely didn't trigger anyone.
