Who knows?

People think they are so damn smart - hey, check with yourself, don't you? - but, nobody knows what they are talking about, especially when it concerns matters which are entirely intangible in nature. Regarding matters which are tangible, like how a waterwheel works, or how a gasoline engine carburetor feeds fuel to the cylinders, or how to build a nuclear bomb, many people know exactly what they are talking about, and can back up everything they say, or not, and can then be proven to be talking through their hat.



People think they are so damn smart, but, nobody knows what they are talking about, especially when it concerns non-scientific, cultural matters like which religion is superior, which style of art or music is superior, or which president would be superior. These are NOT physical matters - though they refer to physical things in some cases - they are entirely non-physical intangible matters, and this is the glaring reason why nobody knows what they are talking about. Just opinions, theories, talking to hear themselves talk.



But, that is not surprising at all, and certainly not an indictment of anybody - since everybody is included "in that rowboat" - but, what is even more interesting, is that nobody - whether they be uneducated or have two Phd's - realizes this. The closest anyone ever comes to it, is thinking everybody ELSE is clueless, except themselves, of course.



There is only ONE thing that anyone can know anything about, though even when knowing this one thing, most can't even begin to talk about it, because they haven't truly experienced the knowing, beyond sensing it, or feeling it. Not until a person knows something, feels it, and senses it, can he discuss it at all.
