First post! What do I plan on posting?
At the end of each post I'll be sharing a recent discovery. An eargasmic song that made me simply feel great on the inside. I have a varied taste in music so I'm sure at least one of the songs I share you'll enjoy.
I want to discuss what the meaning of this quote by Socrates is to you. When I first read it I didn't understand it much, it had me thinking for a while until I realized, and to me it currently means, that the more we learn, the more knowledge we acquire the more questions we have and the more we realize there are so many unsolved mysteries in this world, in this universe that are yet to be discovered. I mean some time ago I used to think everything that could be discovered was already discovered, but oh how wrong I was, and how now I realize what a stupid thought that was. There are places on earth like caves that haven't been explored, there are compunds being discovered as we speak, so much unknown about metaphysics today, and the list goes on.
The song I have to share with you guys today is Don't Go by Wet Baes. I love his 80's style kind of music and he's only 18 already making amazing songs like these. There's not a song I don't enjoy from him.
Watching him live made me realize why he's named Wet Baes ;)
Feel free to ask me anything, I'll be posting at least 2-3 times a week. Good day everyone.

Hi and welcome. This will also be my first activity on the website, so you'll be my first in a way =). This particular quote of Socrates has also resurfaced a couple of times throughout my short life, and has changed meaning each time for me. I understand it now in the context of the philosophy that Socrates represented and that of his time. The pre-socratic philosophers and Socrates himself were very pre-occupied with the notion of truth / knowledge. How can you now what is true? How is knowledge different from true belief etc. Socrates himself struggled with this question throughout his lifetime and died, I blieve, without ever finding a definitive answer. Hence, he says that the only thing he truly KNOWS to be true, is that he knows nothing. And when you think about it, isn't that all any of us can really be sure of? Barring Decartes' "I think, therefore I am" quote, of course.
or to mention "know thyself"
I wanna add: create yourself!
Welcome on steemit!
I feel special to know your first activity was on here haha. Yes, exactly. How can we know that everything we think we know is in fact true? Or real? The Cartesian Method is very interesting but I think it has its flaws. Descartes says he thinks therefore he knows he exists but how can we know his thoughts are real? How can we prove what we're thinking is true? I remember he mentioned something about our reality could be manipulated by an unknown entity well our thoughts could be manipulated by that same unknown entity. So many questions yet so little answers.
I agree, and I don't think anyone has found the answers to these questions. What other philosopher tried to explain if what we're living is in fatc real? Found out about anyone interesting like Descartes?
