I Wonder

I wonder if a great bunch of our knowledge just makes us dizzy and confused, and creates barriers among us. Too many concepts and ideologies often used as weapons. Too little practical knowledge in comparison with past times.

This is the knowledge that bring us together, the one that allows us to bring solutions or at least understanding.

That's why I like to talk to really elderly people irl. They have views based on there experiences and not just read views and can compare past to present. My nan says the violence and gangs was the same when she was young, doors were only left open because no one had anything worth stealing and that people were far more judgemental - things like that I find interesting. I tried to explain electricity to her once because she wondered how it worked to repay her for her giving me different insights but after 2 hours of me explaining, drawing diagrams and repeating myself she said she wished she never asked so I just clean for her haha

@Paliglass I guess for her what mattered about electricity is that it worked, not how. I like more and more that approach
