This is quite the opposite of the common supposition that there is too much knowledge in the world.
But really. Like I said before and will certainly repeat, hardly anyone knows anything. Honest experts will tell you this, but honest experts are rarer than the many more who will happily inflate their own position. So a world of illusion is built all around everything and anything.
(I am limiting my target audience to only highly intelligent people by design. This allows me to skip the long explanations I reserve for general public issue. Right now, hardly anyone reads my blog.)
So ask your doctor how much he knows about the human body. An honest one will tell you, “Not much.”
Seriously, the purpose of the brain is actually the subject of debate.
That’s right. Medical science is not quite certain what the purpose of the brain is. I heard a psychiatrist say, “Psychiatry is an inexact science.”
I did not ruin the party by getting in to the ensuing argument that would inevitably follow my saying, “So it is not a science at all then.” Instead, I made a mental note regarding yet another “story” told to inflate a position that was savagely and factually astonishingly ignorant.
No, there is little knowledge in the world.
