Endless ignorance

"The disease of the ignorant is to ignore their own ignorance.."

-Amos Bronson Alcott-

How did the Earth come to be populated by so many species?

No, don't try to explain it... Nobody knows. There may be many hypotheses, theories, beliefs... But I don't know, nobody knows.

And so many ethnicities within our own species—don't try to tell me it's the climate, migrations, mutations... I don't know, you don't know...

Life on Earth is a mystery, the existence of Earth is a mystery... Don't tell me it's the Big Bang theory, don't tell me it's the Bible... No, and no... I don't know, you don't know.

The earth was not only populated by people and millions of species of flora and fauna, which I know nothing about, but little by little the human race created different agreements for coexistence, such as language and beliefs... So many languages, so many dialects, and I only know my own, Spanish. I have very basic notions of English... I am ignorant; without the help of technology, I wouldn't be able to communicate in any other language with a human being who speaks to me, for example, in Chinese or Bulgarian.

For every detail I know about a particular topic, there are many more details I don't know. For example, I might know some articles of my country's labor law, but the rest are like I'm reading them for the first time.

I couldn't calculate the 10th root of a decimal number without a calculator, nor the process for solving a nuclear physics problem, and probably not even something simpler related to those topics.

I don't know human anatomy in true detail, nor all the processes the body carries out to stay alive... I know almost nothing, and for every topic that comes to mind, there are millions of things I don't know...

I don't know how to perform technical or fundamental analysis of a cryptocurrency... I don't know how to use even half the functions of the cryptocurrency exchange I use; I only go to the basics, to what I need, and that's it. I don't know anything else. I really know almost nothing about it.

I'm so ignorant that I'm unaware of all the topics I'm ignorant about. What I do know is that everything I don't know is infinite... 🥴
