The Omnitude of Ignorance
Written by Ramesh, 27 Feb 05.
What do you think the phrase ignotum per ignotius means? It is an explanation which is harder to understand than what it is meant to explain. Here’s another: Obscurum per obscurius–something obscure, by virtue of the still more obscure.
The more you know, the more you don’t know.

Just a random thought, but who was it that said “we keep learning more and more about less and less until we know everything about nothing”?

Hmm, I can’t quite place it. I’ve read it somewhere before, but can’t quite place it.
