Hi, dear Steemians!

We could argue that the greatest possession of man is his knowledge and wisdom of the world. For you can never lose wisdom, even on the worst days and in the darkest hours.

A lot of people do not understand the value of collective wisdom when it comes to using it.

That is in part because of a flawed education system that might not have given them the satisfaction that they expected out of acquiring knowledge.

But there is difference between true understanding and the illusion of enlightenment.

As the greatest philosophers of the ancient civilization once believed, it is easy to be under the illusion of wisdom and knowledge.

Some people are under real threat when it comes to wisdom. Because the tricky thing about knowledge is that we do not know about our folly and ignorance until it is proven to us.

Many live decades thinking to themselves that they are wise, little knowing that they do are not wise enough to see their own ignorance.

David Dunning and Justin Kruger, two social psychologists, identified this dilemma and disorder, which is now known as the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

The Dunning-Kruger Effect simply states that people with low intelligence cannot recognize their own lowly intelligence with logical assessments, thus falling into the trap of illusory superiority.

The case study focused on a bank thief called McArthur Wheeler. This criminal would rob banks while covering his face in lemon juice.

Mistaking the chemical properties of lemon juice, McArthur believed that this substance would make him invisible to camera, due to the fact that lemon juice is directly associated with invisible ink.

A lot of people are victims of such paradigms in life.

Our lack of intelligence prohibits us from knowing what we really know, thus rendering us ignorant to the world and life on a large scale.

<div class="text-justify"> 

Psychologists argue that true smart people do not brag about their own intelligence and do not see themselves as intellectually superior to other people.

They see their prowess as merely the result of their hard work and determination, where as people under the illusion of intellect often believe that they are innately smarter than other people and understand things better.

Little do they know that their ignorance is so profound that it prevents them from seeing the truth, which is their lack of knowledge in the first place.

<div class="text-justify"> 

True intellect is not about bragging or taking pride in what you know. Truly intelligent people aspire to increase their wisdom.

As Socrates once said, ‘I know that I know nothing.’ This acceptance is what he believed made him smarter than the rest of the people.

Think logically about your own knowledge and wisdom. We are all subject to change and improvement.

We should all take advantage of that self-reflection and seek true knowledge! 

A BIG HUG!
