I have reached a point in my life where I can clearly understand that famous saying attributed to Socrates: "I know that I know nothing".
The more I learn and study about technology, which is both my work and my passion, and the more I discover about the world we live in, the more I realize how much there still is to learn.
What I have come to understand over the years is that knowledge is something I will always seek, until my very last moment, because no one can take it away from me. To seek knowledge is to try to understand the world around us, to comprehend society as a whole, and to explore the essence of what it means to be human.
There is nothing more valuable that I have learned than to appreciate the pursuit of knowledge and to recognize that intelligence is relative. For example, think about the philosopher Diogenes the Cynic. In his time, many people in high society did not see him as a real scholar or thinker, yet even Alexander the Great went to meet him. Not everyone recognized him as a wise man, and that divide over what counts as intelligence and what does not is still very present in today’s society.
In our modern world, I like to think that intelligence is not limited to the academic pursuing a doctorate. A humble worker living a simple life can be just as wise, because knowledge is free. It exists in books, in daily experiences, and in the world around us. Human beings are complex and capable of learning and growing through countless sources. All it takes is to keep alive the desire to seek knowledge.
That is my reflection for today. No tech stuff, just toughts :)!
