On What I Used To Know
“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.” — Stephen Hawking
The irony about “wisdom” with age, is that you question what you think you know more than ever.
Sometimes what we know blocks us from being open to the idea that we might be wrong about what we know…
…and that quiet resistance can keep us from seeing the obvious, the new, or even the truth hiding in plain sight.
So, I guess I’m say, the older I get, the less I think I know.
As always, your mileage may vary, so use what’s helpful. Discard the rest.✌️
