Note: the Theory of Knowledge is perhaps also referred to as the Theory of Learning and/or the Theory of Viewpoint. Some have attributed it to Albert Einstein, yet the Albert Einstein Archives in Israel do not, although his other quotes surround it.
“Inside a circle is knowledge; outside the circle is lack of knowledge. As the circle of knowledge expands, so does its perimeter, thereby increasing lack of knowledge.”
Hence confirming the expression, “The more I know, the more I know I don’t know.”
And the reverse is also true in that the smaller the circle of knowledge, the more somebody is inclined to think they “know it all” – yikes!
