So, you’re saying I know something.
Even if you know nothing, that’s something.
Well, if all you know is that you know nothing, you do know something … and you’re wrong about it.

The “stuff you know” slice should be “stuff you think you know,” and “stuff you know” should be a tiny sliver.
It’s fun asking kids, if 100 is knowing everything and zero is knowing nothing, how much do you know? And they’ll answer something like 80 or 90.
Then you ask them how many words they know in the dictionary. Then you ask how many words they know in other languages. And then they realise they don’t know much at all and agree the answer is something more like 0.0000000000001. (needs more zeros)
I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
