don't you have great knowledge of your ignorance? It's a simple thing to know, in a sense, since it is derivative from not knowing. I don't know most things, ignorance is established as the baseline state.
No. The older I get, the more things I realise that I know nothing about. You might learn one thing, but that knowledge leads you to three more things that you didn't even knew existed. Ignorance is exponential that way.
I do miss those childhood years when you thought your parents had all the answers and all you had to do was to ask.
And I miss the teenage years when I knew everything and all the answers were absolute black and white.
