Knowledge is a Double-edged Sword

WARNING: This may cause you to think deeply and give you reason to reconsider all things.

I know that I know nothing.

This is not imposter syndrome. This is known as the Socratic Paradox.

Part and parcel of the Socratic Method, this type of philosophy became the foundation for 2,000 years of human knowledge.

The 5th century b.c.e. philosopher from Athens, Greece, known as Socrates urged everyone to question everything. He was quoted to have said that the unexamined life was not worth living.

Which is what entangled Socrates in his own dialectics.

You see, his style of critical examination encouraged the youth to explore truth and reconsider tradition, culture and society.

Ultimately… Socrates life didn’t end well.

He was accused of impiety and corrupting the youth and sentenced to self-imposed death by Athenian law.
