Wisdom is understanding that I can’t know anything (wise + dumb)
unlike wisdom knowledge is not something that accumulates in us over time. The human condition is such that we are limited greatly in what is even knowable! Nothing material or objective is knowable because all matter is forever in a perpetual state of change. Anything disguised as knowable has already changed or awaits changed through better science.
All things knowable are subjective and immaterial. We approach knowledge through the simplification of the subject down to its empirical “essence.” Possibly by way of understanding as we do not acquire this knowledge. We only approach it.
So I don’t believe there’s a measurable accumulation of knowledge in this approach. Knowledge is somewhat synonymous with God. I believe it is singular by nature! Knowledgeis not plural, although it is comprised of many parts. Having mentioned God, I propose that knowledge can exist in three separate states just like the holy Trinity.
When we die, we will possess knowledge as a singular entity, knowing everything there is no in a spiritual realm. That could be the state of having or being and before life it was a requirement that knowledge be taken away from us so that we could have free will. Knowledge and free will cannot go exist that’s contradictory since you have all knowledge. All at once. Having this knowledge, your exactly equivalent in nature to God. God does not have free will. And neither can any soul until the all-knowing is removed allowing for innocence to take its place. With free will following close behind.
From another angle, we can agree that God is unknowable to men of free will, nor can we know any of the parts of God that compose him. And God‘s entire composition is out of intangible abstractions, virtuous ideals. All of which can be simplified to an empirical essence.
I’m sorry I should finish that the three separate states in which knowledge can exist could be called a present a past and a future, or similarly a it was an is, and it will be.
Who knows these are my today thoughts everything is just an illusion. My sanity is the greatest of all illusions. For the foundation upon which sanity was built is composed entirely of illusions. Fact.
Thank you and sorry for the length of this post. I hope it’s not a waste of everybody’s time.
