Orlando M Lourenço

Dear Milena,

Our wilingness to recognize that we are wrong is only at the reach of wise and knowledgeable people. However much they know, these people are fully aware that what they know is almost nothing when compared to what they don't know. This can be called intellectual humility. Paraphrasing philosoper Socrate, the only thing I know is that I know nothing.

Kind regards,

Orlando
