I agree with OP.
the more u know the less u know u personally know.
But that being said the myth that smart people think they aren’t intelligent is just that, a myth. myself and other genuinely high IQ people will agree with this. you get narcissistic in a way.

Bruh I was joking

But ur not that wrong. As we edify ourselves in knowledge we learn that we must have an insatiable desire for knowledge. And this is exactly what philosophy is. Philos means love. Sophia means wisdom. So it's the love of wisdom 🥹

Descartes and kant are schizos tho

Since I’ve come to terms with my knowledge learning potential I have a thirst for knowledge and “increasing” my intelligence it’s become addicting. I love learning new niche ish things, like every country and their capital off by heart, a new language, a random mathematical concept. Damn i am such a nerd

The most certain knowledge possible is only that you yourself exist (cogito ergo sum). Beyond that you're building off of assumptions. Sure you can strip away all the assumptions you make at all (e.g. "my senses can be trusted more or less") but then that leaves you in a catatonic state where you are only "certain" of your own existence and you float from place to place in a dissociated fugue.

Knowledge is impossible, yes; but that truth is impractical and leads nowhere for you

Btw I'm joking, cartesian demon is just funny :ROFLMAO:
Saying knowledge is impossible is a self-refuting claim
