" The more I read, the more I acquire, the more certain I am that I know nothing. "
- Voltaire
Reading facilitates neural connections in our brain, corresponding to new information we seek. When we have a little knowledge about something, we tend to be sure that we know everything, but as we dig deeper into that subject our brain becomes aware of its depth.
Once we try to acquire more understanding of a subject matter, our brain becomes beware that there is more to learn. We start becoming humble because we know our information is limited and there is always something more to it.
When we gain a deeper sense of something, it feels like we know nothing.
