Ignorance of all things is an evil neither terrible nor excessive, nor yet the greatest of all; but great cleverness and much learning, if they be accompanied by a bad training, are a much greater misfortune.

When it comes to learning, you can view everything as:

- True until proven false
- False until proven true
- None until proven one

Is this thread just about quoting phrases of others without any analysis?

Knowledge is much like fire. Used properly, it can be a valuable tool. Used carelessly, fire can destroy lives, towns and forests in an instant.

Knowledge has dangers and an ugly dark side. But it can also bring tremendous opportunities and benefits.
