Not Knowing

Not knowing something you can know is OK.

Your brain is at best a small cache of all human knowledge. It’s OK to wonder. It’s OK to not know something. I’m not arguing for wilful ignorance per se, but simply noting that its OK to admit our own finitude and to accept it. Maybe I know enough? Maybe I don’t need to know? Maybe it’s not really that important. Maybe I need to ponder or sleep on it and let my brain build the odd connections that only a human brain can.

Maybe there’s something better to do with my time than to fire off one more google search or AI query.
