Knowledge, a concept that many desire and thirst after with such longevity that it makes all other passions seem docile. The ability to 'know' something is always an interesting concept. I could claim mathematical knowledge, yet we say there's always someone out there that knows more than we know, or could know. That all knowledge cannot be gained, yet it's sought after with such thirst that a a drug addict now seems tame.
Why do we search out knowledge?
Moreover, now that one is older, they claim more knowledge by right of ascention and passage. They claim to 'know better' than the younger generations. Likewise the yonger generations claim knowledge over the old, Calling them 'fuddy dutty's laughing and mocking heir 'old fasion' way to do things. When the calculater first came out mathematics laughed at you for not beng able to add without one, and now they have college courses where one is required. Logarythems had beend one for years, using Log Tables, now it's done with a button on the TI-83. Our knowledge blinds us to others perception of the universe. Case and point the older folks telling the yongers they know better because of age. A Doctoral student laughing at a undergrad because they have advanced beyond that threshold. Some may feel this a true way o life others find it a bias pretense to discredit wisdom by age.
Do you think Knowledge is blindness? That we 'know too much"
