If you think you understand the world completely, then you don't understand enough about the world.. it's time to open some books, learn more about the world, and eventually you hit that point where you've crossed the dunning-kruger threshold and you realize how small you are and how small your knowledge of the universe really is.

Are we talking about Plato's cave or the scale of the Solar System?

Yes. Everything. Both the inner world and the outer world.

@sj_zero@social.fbxl.net but "the world" is all that (non-specific you) know, isn't it?

I don't think in a perception creates reality sort of way. If you close your eyes and don't know what's in front of you it doesn't stop it from existing, it just means you are ignorant. The same if you metaphorically close your third eye and are willfully blind to the world inside of you.

The DKE limits are innate. Genetics dominates nurture.

What is a DKE limit? I looked it up and couldn't find anything that matches with what you're saying.

@sj_zero

DKE = Dunning-Kruger Effect, and the limits are cognitive limits. We cannot educate people to be smarter, and in fact (per esotericism) they have to come to what knowledge that they can have through their own initiative.

Ah, thanks.
