Philosophical Thought of the Day

“I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing."

- Socrates

 

This is a great quote by one of the greatest minds to ever walk this earth. To claim that we are intelligent may in fact be one the most ignorant statements we could ever make. If we were to accumulate at the end of our lives the total number of all our intelligent thoughts combined; we will find that this number would not even scratch the surface of the total amount of knowledge there is to be gained. Between the amount of knowledge and history here on Earth, and the vast infinity of space. Knowledge as we know its definition is a relative term. People that claim intelligence fail to realize that they are only thinking on a human level. To sum it up they are thinking small. To claim knowledge is ignorance, to claim ignorance is knowledge.
