Nassim Nicholas Taleb on knowledge

The weak shows his strength and hides his weaknesses; the magnificent exhibits his weaknesses like ornaments.

Social science means inventing a certain brand of human we can understand.

An idea starts to be interesting when you get scared of taking it to its logical conclusion.

One thing only I know, and that is that I know nothing.

Socrates470–399 BC

Information is not knowledge.

There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.

Socrates470–399 BCII: xxxi. Original Greek: ἓν μόνον ἀγαθὸν εἶναι, τὴν ἐπιστήμην, καὶ ἓν μόνον κακόν, τὴν ἀμαθίαν
