Very interesting read - Knowledge, Wisdom and Knowing

[OreoGaborio]

I found it while looking for a quote by Socrates ("True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing. And in knowing that you know nothing, that makes you the smartest of all.")

http://www.blueridge.net/~I_AM_ISA/Discourse/knowledge.htm

Very..... well.... kinda Socratic and... Zen i guess. i dunno how to put it. i think you'll enjoy it if you want to kinda reach beyond what you think you know & open up to learn something about yourself & the world around you.

oh, and it's not TOOOOO long. straight to the point.

knowledge is power.
Wisdom is enlightenment.

Good find.

[OreoGaborio]

and one step beyond those two, Knowing is freedom

"So-crates - The only true wisdom exists in knowing that you know nothing." - Bill and Ted.

[OreoGaborio]

yeah, the article actually slightly contradicts what Socrates says, but it's very much allong the same lines. of course, there's also room for error in the translation of what Socrates says

[CiLK WuRM]

Or what Plato wrote ;)

[OreoGaborio]

Plato studied under Socrates.... bitch 8)

True knowledge is knowing that when it is too long to read, act like you did and throw knowledge in the sentence.

[CiLK WuRM]

Socrates didn't write shit. Plato wrote it all down after he'd died.

[a3ternus]

What Socrates wrote in ancient Greek goes EXACTLY (in meaning) like this:
"I know only one thing;that I dont know anything"
All the other stuff you mention are near the point,but not the EXACT sentense...
