TITLE The Correlation Between The Gaining Of Knowledge And How We Doubt It.
To What Extent Is The Abundance Of Knowledge Leads To The Increase Of Doubt On It?
INTRODUCTION / As we start learning about a certain topic that is fairly new to us, we would feel as if we are prodigies on that certain
SIGNIFICANCE topic and we would feel as if we know more than any of our peers, making any assumptions and facts that we have
concluded on the knowledge that we feel are true and just. But with more knowledge acquired on that certain subject,
we became much more confused and swirled in facts and knowledges that may contradict each other or have rarely any
relations with each other.
Furthermore, as we learn more facts and knowledge on those certain topics, stacking them constantly, we became much
more unsure and gain less and less confidence in our knowledge on the topic. This is due, as stated before, with the
abundance of knowledge that may contradict each other or may seem like they do not have any relation with each
other but somehow are interconnected. With the abundance of knowledge in a topic, we could become confused and
somehow delusional in that certain topic. Additionally, with that stated, we would be contradicting ourselves with
different ideas, facts and knowledge claims and thus will become much more unsure, less confident and doubt more on
how much we actually know and have explored. And thus, we could also learn on how much we haven’t yet explored on
that topic. And most of the times, as we learn more about a topic, we became much more aware of subjects that we
haven’t yet learned or explored.
