Re: What Are The Most Important Things To Know?
Maybe knowing what is the most important things to know is the most important thing to know itself.
The way we give importance to things depends in what do we "need" or what do we "want", we give importance because of our values, so, knowing the answer to that question would be answer the question "who am I" (but that has too many meanings).
I think knowledge is difuse and can be expresed like the planification we do, knowing something, becomes always in a new way to live, I think there aren't "absolute" truths (absolute plans), cause experience can always show as that we are wrong, but knowing what is important, is having the greatest plan to live. That question can't be answered with an absolute, it will be always a question, and we'll always reach a better conclusion in what is important. The rest of our thoughts are just subplans of that plan.
