The key to making things understandable is to understand what it's like NOT to understand.

The most essential prerequisite to understanding is to be able to admit when you don't understand something

Information anxiety is the black hole between data and knowledge, and it happens when information doesn't tell us what we want or need to know.

You only understand information relative to what you already understand.

Most of us do not even know how to ask a question. Most of us do not see the root of the word 'question' is 'quest'. Most of us don't have a quest in our life.

Accept ignorance; pay more attention to the question than the answer; never be afraid to go in the opposite direction.

I am terribly fascinated with things that I don’t understand.

A man who is not a father to his children can never be a real man,

Sure. My ego's had enough time to recover a modicum of dignity. Let's make sure we crush it again before I mistake myself for a god. -Acheron
