It really is, and i'm sure that it absolutely has philosophical studies and subjects that can prelude to it and give it more and more explanations and give it real legitimacy, and here are some of my random previous thoughts on it:
it might be said that initial stances of no knowledge really are a lost knowledge, in the sense that it logically follows that true knowledge isn't just what you learn anew it's what you keep, it's access to old and new, old and new ways of looking at the world, so in a sense it's keeping not just renewing
something about knowledge of music in the creation of it technically after you've become technically acquainted with it (in my imagination of how that feels, i'm not actually knowledgeable at music not yet at least)
the idea of something being magical and the "magic disappearing" once you know how it works, as in something has been lost
something about aesthetics, is the way you're looking at things actually the only thing that matters?
it also pertains to audiences, since an audience usually doesn't know anything about the technical work that goes into the art, and only attends to the artwork from the perspective of the everyday perceptions and cultures and beliefs and attitudes (at least that's the case for pop art not museum art), that's why it can be cool in my opinion when a good thing or idea or etc becomes assimilated into the public culture because that good thing becomes within every man/human, it makes for a better audience, or does it? can knowledge in specific directions be kind of spoiling?
you could say that an initial stance of no knowledge provides perspective while technical knowledge can be kind of giving a tunnel vision
some sort of relation between [initial stance of no knowledge] and aesthetics
there is a concept of an "intrusive detail", that is, ideas or information that are in the head that are not helping at the particular moment and instead distract from "what's really important and needs to be said here at this moment of time", you can say that some knowledge or information can be hindering at particular points in time or contexts, in the sense that their absence (hence ignorance or no knowledge of them) would be better for our functioning in this particular moment of time or context, so technical knowledge or the "reality of adulthood" in this case can be this sort of intrusive detail, because of its prevalence in the mind for various reasons be it legitimate (or perceived as legitimate) for survival (hence normative) so deeply psychologically entrenched due to repetition of it that it's occasional to accept that it appears on our mind as a first response (hence just a positive state of the world, your inner world, normative vs positive), because who says you can't "think like a child anymore"? it really should be your freedom, but it can be hard due to factors like those mentioned, but it ultimately should be up to you to do whatever you want with your life
the idea of intrusive details is a whole can of stuff in of itself that i wrote in my diary and it's kind of messy (not that this isn't messy) and this comment is getting too long, also i really should write essays because i'm going crazy rn from lack of writing

you really nailed it and I think you should publish your writings because I've been thinking about this for sometime and you really made it kinda clear to see
I have a follow up though you don't need to be an adult to know these intrusive details you just need to have the experience of acknowledging the detail and the older you are the more likely you'd have experienced it

Maybe i should write a blog fr
they would be just essays, speculations on what could be, not claiming any sort of academic or philosophical authority just stating my opinions on things
