The more you learn, the more you realize you don't know shit, which means when you are in a junior grade maths class you seem to know everything but now when you are in a university maths class you seem to not know 200-300 things or more This is one of a great paradox I came across

Knowledge Circle

Ever noticed that the harder you push for something, the harder it feels to achieve? Or the more available something is, the less you will want it? A paradox is something like this, something that is seemingly self-contradictory but after giving it a little consideration actually starts to make a lot of f*cking sense. That’s what makes paradoxes such mindfucks. And that’s what I love about them. Over my years working in this business, I’ve found that some of life’s real grains of wisdom emerge from paradoxes. So stick around, I’m sharing a bunch of them right here, right now.
