If a person thinks they already know, how are they going to learn?

The Dunning-Kruger effect lends a scientific name and explanation to a problem that many people immediately recognize—that fools are blind to their own foolishness.

In the quote, "I know that I don't know", Socrates is expressing his belief that true wisdom comes from recognizing one's own ignorance.

"Science is the father of knowledge, but opinion breeds ignorance." - Hippocrates

"Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance" - Confucius

"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge." Charles Darwin

"Reason obeys itself; and ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it." - Thomas Paine

"Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

"The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don't know anything about." - Wayne Dyer

They won't as their minds are closed. Only way to open them is sufficient suffereing.


For example take those whom determined some in their group were witches… their belief dictated… so they went to butn them on the stake. Very hard to change such belief.


Beliefs are the problem. For whatever reason…some people stop thinking… or maybe its their heart’s are closed to the screams…


Such is the same with the mid east conflict…

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
