Knowledge?

What do you think gets better with age?

Thinking about this question is a challenge. As I age I know I’m not getting physically better, but I hope and believe that I have better knowledge now than I did in the past. I try and keep up to speed with many things. I would say I’m a generalist, not an expert. My brain cannot take all of that information in, but I can try.

I think you always need to be willing to learn. Why not? Why be afraid of finding things out? It makes life more interesting.

For instance, the images that The James Webb telescope is taking of the universe really interest me. Our eye on the universe has got so much better in recent years. Then knowledge about chemistry might help us reduce or stop some of the carbon dioxide emissions that are causing global warming? Changes in computing and AI might help with human health?

And knowledge should be something we all seek. Having knowledge can give us a personal key to what is going on in the world. Avoiding fake news and fake facts. Being wary of things that are too good to be true (They probably are). There is a lot to sift through. But I think its worth seeking out true knowledge.

  1. I am in favour of Understanding. I think we humans never know we can only hope to develop understanding. This is because understanding rather than knowledge and contemporary culture is much more natural. It is existential and therefore I agree with anyone who believes that it is often the case that “knowledge is the enemy of being”.

  3. Knowledge shifts in meaning from different vantage points. Wisdom is understanding those vantage points in some regards.

    What we need to do as we find knowledge is allow it to shift our vantages, and we need to shift it’s vantages as well.

  4. My personality and self-esteem have changed a lot as I aged. I was an obedient mindless child to my parents, constantly apologizing, not able to say no, expected to be quiet and just do chores. I learned to set my boundaries and stand up for myself in the span of a year. I have a lot to withstand yet but I have people on my side supporting me and telling me I can do it. And I know I can. I’m yet to overcome my parents’ dictatorship but I’m willing to at least try. I can’t allow myself to bend and break.
