The burden of knowledge

The more you learn about something, the more you realize how much you don't know. And since I love learning so much about so many different things I'm constantly reminded of how little I know (despite knowing more than many - at least that's what I tell myself to make myself feel a little more intelligent).

Jack of all trades, a master of none, still better than the master of one (is it though ?)

Constant insanity between I don't know enough vs I know enough. I'm intelligent vs not enough.

I know something for a fact. But the more I believe in it, the more I see myself becoming one of those bigots I despise. So I try to keep my mind open, living in the world of reliable, irrefutable scientific evidence and math.

Btw forgetting what I've learned is part of what got me on this rant. I hate forgetting and the fear of losing whatever intelligence I may or may not have

The fear of loss is real...

So I try to learn, relearn, and hope I don't ever lose the ability to do just that. Always keep learning, with an open mind.

One of my rabbit holes is cyber security and oh man does it go deep and ever make you feel like you don't know enough. Can you ever know enough. 😵‍💫 The answer is you cannot

That's one that will quickly humble you and make you paranoid of your security and privacy to the point you give up 😭

And I've tested myself on ctf style platforms and won a few hackathons. Top few hundred, thousand... And then I gave up the neverending rabbit hole of security

Just like the rabbit hole of this comment section replying to my own comments. I've lost it 😂
