“He who knows not and knows not he knows not: He is a fool - shun him. He who knows not and knows
he knows not: He is simple - teach him. He who knows and knows not he knows: He is asleep - wake
him. He who knows and knows he knows: He is wise - follow him.”

True wisdom is knowing how much you know. Not always nothing, but it is very little compared to
what's out there.
The problem is, we have no reference other than ourselves as to what the truth really is. There
may be people who actually know absolute truth; but we have no measure for that, no answer key, so
we can't know. Same problem for knowing how much is out there.
We don't know how much we don't know, so we cant know how much of it we do know. Therefore, it's
impossible to gain 'true wisdom' of how much you really know. |

That is without basis.
You know what you know. Period. |

Contradiction.
I know that I don't know anything!!!!!!
But then of course I know something. |

Not bad. But what is described is the point from which a person must start to attain true wisdom. |

Wisdom has to contain substance or truth or otherwise it's not wisdom. Saying that true wisdom is
knowing nothing isn't guiding anyone so isn't wisdom either. |

That is an oxymoron, It is impossible to Know that you Know nothing.
So you are implying that There is no such thing as Wisdom. (Why do we put "true") in front of words
as if it validates it...
That is your greatest blunder. If wisdom doesn't exist none of our past exists because wisdom is a
product of our past and experiences.
And if those don't exist I didn't just post this comment. |

"Life is beyond our control and beyond our understanding" Uhh no. Humans almost completely control
life, with the exception of death, humans have basically taken over all lesser life on earth and
used them for our advancement, aka cow farms, vaccines, and such. We also understand life mostly. We
dont know where it came from yet for certain but we understand how cells work and how death works.
"Meaning is irrelevant in our constant quest to seek our significance of our race and all existing
entities that we are consciously and unconsciously aware and unaware of."
Meaning is relevant to this scale your using.
Humans have meaning to their own race as they advance their own race and seek glory from their own
race. To the universe now we could all die and little effect would probably occur, at our current
point in time.
"existing entities that we are consciously and unconsciously aware and unaware of"
Really then name a few who you can prove exist.
" We ultimately have no knowledge, we only see the obvious, the visible, the substance, and miss the
truth."
We have plenty of knowledge i know i exist and i know how i can make my life easier.
"we only see the obvious, the visible, the substance," What else is there? As you stated its the
substance of our universe. That's what the universe is made of nothing more. There's no evidence of
magic or spirits or anything it doesn't exist.
"and miss the truth" explain this truth.
"What we know is fictitious in the view of being masked by our biased desire to maintain existence
of reality. We know Nothing."
What your suffering from most likely is either depression or a smaller degree of it. You've lost the
fun in your life and thus have decided that there's no reason for you or us to exist. You should
either
1. Get over it
2. Get a hobby
2 seems to work better. |
