The title speaks. We really can't know so much. Even if you have a ten thousand-book library, would you say the person knows so much? It reveals a constant quest for knowledge but doesn't prove much knowledge. I was just thinking about this while watching Farid Zakaria on CNN and he presented a teaser on refugee statistics and I thought, beyond Farid and those in the know, who really knew the answer.
Can Stephen Hawkins speak Yoruba for instance or an African correspondent speaks all major languages in Africa. I think this is a reflection about our level of knowledge at any point in time.
I think it is time to get humble and stay humble. This probably explains the Trump problem in America right now. No need to debate on his level of knowledge, information or analytical mind. He never reads. That sums it up. Yet. he choses to believe he is the smartest ever. One thing I keep saying is that Trump did change the world positively. He woke the world up to how much we need to learn to lead. Now we research on opposition research, collusions, the cold war and NATO. Things we probably didn't bother to know because we believed our leader knows about it and would do his job.
Now, this. We all want to know to protect ourselves just in case.
The Donald has definitely created many future leaders.
