Learning And Knowledge

How do we learn, and how do we know what we know? Is knowledge innate? We all question what we learn, but do we usually question WHY and HOW we learn? Well, I provide simple answers for those questions.

Learning

The ablity to learn is innate, meaning born inside of us. However, we know nothing at birth. We must learn everything.

Knowledge

Knowledge comes from the innate ablity to learn. What we learn over time is individual, conforming to what we need. Because we are mortal and only live a certian period of time, we can never know everything, for knowledge itself is changing as times go by.

What The Gods Know

The gods are immortal, you must keep in mind, though they are parts of good. They will live forever, and thus are constantly learning. Once the human race and universe ends, then and only then will they know EVERYTHING there is to know. They, too, are learning as we learn new things.

Why We Learn What We Learn

Everyone learns different things. For instance, I could inform you all about certian things pertianing to Tarot, yet if I tried talking about sports, I couldn't tell you anything. Our interests are all different, as well as our professions.

When Learning Is Practical

Learning, however, has no meaning unless it is practical to use in our lives*. This is similar to the profession thing as stated above. It is not practical, for instance, for a philosophy or world religions major to have every geometetry theorem memorized, while it would be useless to a geometry major to know about certian philosophers.
