What is Knowledge???

[Guille]

with respect to oneself, no. two people, yes. three or more people, surest.

The Chinese philosopher Confucius said.

He who knows and knows he knows, he is wise, follow him.
He who knows and knows not he knows, he is asleep, wake him.
He who knows not and knows he knows not he is simple, teach him.
He who knows not and knows not he knows not he is a fool, shun him.

I Have one more to add:

He who knows not and thinks he knows, he is a _____, so _____ him. Can you think of two words that enter here?

[AntonioLao]

He who knows not and thinks he knows, he is mistaken, so correct him.

[Guille]

He who knows not and thinks he knows, he is mistaken, so correct him.

O yes, it was obvious, and I didn't see it. I was blind.
And, what is......
He who knows, and thinks he doesn’t know?

[AntonioLao]

He who knows, and thinks he does not know?

He needs to talk to somebody or try posting or writing or publishing.

[Guille]

And, he who knows but thinks he doesn’t know, but can't post because has no internet, can't publish because has no money and can't write because is analphabetic (is it this word?) but is brilliant and actually proves Einstein is wrong? We will never know...

Guille;
Confucius was not a scientist but he was wise.
Don't confuse wisdom with knowledge.
Ignorance is cured with knowledge.
Stupidity is cured with wisdom.
It is easier to cure ignorance.

I guess that when you say ignorance is easier to cure you mean easier than stupidity. Well, don't you think that both knowledge and wisdom are greatly related? When someone has a lot of knowledge, s/he is wise.

I agree that they are deeply related. But I would venture, that wisdom would be knowing how to use knowledge.

I also agree with you. Maybe knowledge is the tool of wisdom.

[AntonioLao]

Maybe knowledge is the tool of wisdom.

creative tool not destructive tool. continuation of life not termination of life. The terrorists would have us believe otherwise since they are cowardly intelligent and knowledgeable about many things.
