I know nothing

I figured out, way too early, that, truly, no one knows shit about fuck ! and those who claimed to, are usually fooling themselves, or trying to get one over on you.  As Socrates pointed out, True knowledge exist in knowing that you no nothing”   無知の知

One would probably suspect that this illuminating insight was of great benefit to acquire so young, but unfortunately, it was just another idea that scared the piss out of me. Yet what frightened me even more, was that no one else seemed to notice, let alone, have a care. but ill get more into that later.

Now that i’m an adult, i can finally appreciate, the full magnitude and significance of this wisdom. And instead of horror and dread, i feel wonder and awe, at the actual,  beautifully chaotic, fragile nature of reality.

We all have been inundated with scores of biases as we are brought up, most are benign, more are subconscious. From our favorite sports team (Go Pens!!) to the utensils we prefer to eat with, to the units we use to measure temperature. Being aware of this, i’ve always tried to do my best to look past these assumptions and take an objective view,  when trying to figure something out. To my friends, and brother’s annoyance, if it’s a conversation worth having, i often play devil’s advocate, or take on another’s perspective, to try an understand the whole picture, instead of just one angle.

whether it’s this blog, my Youtube page(once its up and running), or any other media platform, i promise to strive to be as honest and as objective as i can. For, as everyone knows,
