well said. the more you know, the more you know what you don't know.
take all knowledge of known things and imagine its a circle, the radius is touching known unknowns.
as known grows, the radius expands and touches more unknowns.
i don't think that will ever end.
I wonder if this might cause the perception coined by 'idiocracy', that people keep being 'dumber'. actually they know relatively the same but its better understood that its really not a lot thats known?
