[Anonymous No.5021152]

I don't see how it is circular but I share the sentiment that you will probably never have a truly greater understanding of everything than you do at this moment.

>what is education

I'm so sorry to hear about your disability. Really, I pity you. Every day I'm learning something new. Every day I gain new knowledge and I'm furthering my understanding of the world. It fills me with excitement and joy. How sad must your life be, if you reject all knowledge?

Doesn't every scientific discovery lead to myriad questions?

>tfw intellectual pursuits are still valuable for that very reason so that you may become conciousness of it and dwell in socratic ignorance and get off Mister Bone's Wild Ride

Do you really think a rhetorical question can cover up the fact that you have no idea what you're talking about?

[Anonymous No.5021236]

this is why I struggle very hard to either pursue personal development or be a bread and circus pleb.

explain please. how is it that when you learn something and keep learning you return to where you started (not knowing what you learned)?
This makes no sense

[Anonymous No.5021343]

>>5021143
It might be bait, and I don't know what it belongs on /lit/ but

the act of thinking and actually analyzing something makes it worth it, even if you come to the same conclusion you had before

The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

If I know all the thing's I can know and that I also deem worthy to know, i something something
OR
I don't need to know everything only what I find worthy to know in the time I have.


I'm making myself confused here...

The more you know, the more you know that you don't need to know more, all the really important shit we already know, just a few important "the fuck is this" left to understand anyway.

[Anonymous No.5021702]

>>5021373
yes that's true, but the more you know the more you know so you don't get back at where you started.
you guys scared me a bit with your stupid shenanigans

He's right you know. Newton's formulation of mathematical laws of physics led to a mad dash to quantify what was previously a conceptual venture. Michelson and Morley's proof of the nonexistence of the aether led to Einstein's relativity and the explosion of cosmological exploration. The discovery of the electron, and that the atom isn't the final building block, led to electromagnetism and quantum physics. In science, answering one question always leads to several more. Kurt Gödel proved that we will never have a complete understanding of mathematics, and that we'll have to continue developing further systems of math to understand the systems that precede it.

Congratulations you've reached Philosophy 101: Plato

Unfortunately you seem have taken it a bit too literally.
