Humanity Thinks it's so Smart....

...and it is. We have progressed tremendously in many areas (no so much in others) but just think about this fact. Science is uncovering new discoveries everyday, constantly putting our prior amount of knowledge to shame. Sometimes this restructures our whole concept of reality or previous knowledge and information paradigm. We humans think we are so smart and that we know everything. We don't. What we know is probably a spec of dust compared to what exists.  Fumbling in the dark, that is all we are doing on this planet. And, since the amount of what we don't know is so large, we cannot determine whether this is a good or bad thing.

agnosticism, knowledge, humanity's progress
