From my Grandfather, who told me when I was 19 in 1989, the more we learn the less we actually know, the knowledge of this is the key to all wisdom.

@NativePortlander1970 Well said. Wise grandfather.
@Umile Last summer an 18-21 year old kid tried arguing with me that this made no sense, he also claimed he was a straight A student, therefore informing me that whatever we learn is more than we knew before, which made it false. I forget exactly how many laughing reactions he got.

@NativePortlander1970 Lol. I get his reasoning. I think most of the older generation could understand it. Maybe cause it resonates more. But, there are some street smart kids out there.
@Umile The problem is that his logic was very flawed, I understood it when I was 19 because I'm an avid reader, a massive info junkie, after Short Circuit came out in 1987 my peers in my group home started calling me Deano Five 🙄

@NativePortlander1970 Dang. Would you say that audio books are better ?
@Umile I listen to them while cooking and cleaning.

@NativePortlander1970 Nmh. I tried doing that, smh. I wanna learn what I'm listening to, so maybe while I'm meditating or relaxing.
@Umile They're usually fiction series I listen to, they help pass the time.
