eh. fine. since he's answering. i covered this question with wen. it all depends on the nature of knowledge. we did this big fancy comparison of knowledge and the universe. maybe knowledge already exists (i.e. we discover it not create it) and it exists in a discrete form. then, no, it doesn't increase. but if not maybe its expanding? - point is, we dont know.
how contradictory. and yes, i ditto that maddy- with expanding knowledge we are either creating new knowledge and ignorance or simply becoming more aware of our ignorance. thats what wens final conclusion was.

Yes.
The more we learn, the more we become aware of how much we do not know.
Without numbers, why would we need to know how to differentiate?
Etcetera, etcetera.

we are constantly ignorant. but through knowledge we become aware of that ignorance.
The only thing I know is that I know nothing.
how socratic.

It is pretty socratic.
In fact, that's exactly socratic.
There's only one thing that's more Socratic..."An unexamined life is not worth living."
