Do you feel that you are well informed

[justinsb]

and educated about Middle Eastern/Arabic/Islamic history and culture

1. I believe I fall between 1 & 2. I never stop reading and researching

because there's always stuff out there that you don't know, but I am much more informed that most of the people I know.

[Xipe Totec]

2. The more I learn,

the more I realize how little I know.

[TahitiNut]

3. "Learner's Syndrome"

I tend to imagine 'knowledge' as a oddly-shaped bubble, the surface of which is my sense of the Unknown. As the volume of the bubble (my knowledge) increases, so does its surface - seemingly at a greater rate. Thus, I tend to regard my increased sense of the Unknown as "learning."

On the other hand, I may just be a bubble-head. :dunce:

4. True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing

- Socrates

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

5. Much more informed than the average citizen. But, much to learn.

6. Of course not.

You can read, dig, and research all you want (and I do) but to consider oneself "well informed" in this country of secrets and disinformation is pure folly.

We're worse that shooting in the dark folks, even progressives. We are shooting in a dimly lit a hall of mirrors.
