First Steps

The more I learn, the less I understand.

The paradox seems to be that the more I learn, the older and wiser I get, the less I seem to truly believe or understand. Life gets more incognizable by the moment. No, I don't think I'm suffering from Alzheimer's disease - at least not yet. Setting aside any neurosis or other mental health issues, I'm guessing that this is the norm:

• The more I learn, the more I learn how little I know. -- Socrates
• The more you know, the less you understand. -- Lao-Tse
• The more you learn, the more you know. The more you know, the more you forget. The more you forget, the less you know. So why bother to learn? -- George Bernard Shaw

Anyway, I figured it was about time to inflict my misunderstanding of reality on the world - consequently this blog. The only standard I will to try to set is that I expect people to misunderstand what I am trying to say or to figure out. Feel free to argue with me, I may reciprocate, but then again I may just move on to something equally incognizable.
