this made me thinking — things are being built up over centuries, while each new person is born with 0 knowledge. the progress right now is increasing exponentially, but that 0 doesn’t change. this explains why we are still such idiots with golden hammers.

and another problem is the perceived notion that people have of knowledge and wisdom and all of those things that make their ego big what does it mean to comprehend something? like when did you actually feel that you comprehended what music is? have you ever actually felt that? what value does it truly add to you to say that as part of the identification that you have with yourself?

Great point! I personally don’t ask myself questions because I don’t think I will ever comprehend anything. Especially with those particular ones. And as someone who has been doing something at a very high level all my life, I can definitely say that the more skilled I am - the less knowledge I have, the less i analyze and the more I feel about the subject. I think analysis (neocortex) is needed, but to a certain point. Then it’s overrated.
