Rasputin

Thanks for calming me a bit... Further, how do you differentiate between "knowing" and "understanding?" I think that understanding is in the same family as knowing, only on a more advanced level. I'll give example from my life: I know (well, knew, at least) what musical scales corresponded to each other. If I would undestrand -why- they correspond (from a physical point of view, or musical point of view) I would be able to "give birth" to more knowledge (like a blueprint for an instument).. Hope my thoughts are clear and make sense in english

Hello all... My story is very complicated, I'm a quite disturbed individual... See, when I read an interesting article in a newspaper or a pop-science journal I immediatly get melancholic and depressed about the fact that I can't get all the knwoledge in the world. Socrates pretty much summed it up by saying that the more he learned, the more he realized how little he knew... I know that I will never be able to know EVERYTHING, but I would like to die trying. For this, I need to know what areas of knwoledge humans developed over thousand of years. I'm talking about everything from religious studies to arts and literature... Wikipedia has those "portals" on many subjects. Problem with Wiki is that it's like an endless loop. You walk into one portal and you can jump via links form one article to the next, endlessly. It's not very hierarchical (spelling?) see? The closest thing I've found so far is this: http://www.success.co.il/knowledge/Map/Map.html I would appreciate any comments on the subjects, any suggestions... I know this seems like a hit-and-run post, but I promise I will be back to check it out, this subject bothers my mind most of my waking hours, unfortunatly.
