I don't know:

1. What I don't know...

that says it all!

In truth, I was hoping for something a bit less esoteric, e.g.

1) Where I left my car keys

2) How to continue with the poem I began a few days ago...

3) Why

I don't know:

1. how to make cheese

2. What region of India my great-grandparents came from

3. When my friend from Uzbekistan will reply my email [soon I hope!]


A little game I play with my students:

'Words I didn't know I don't know' - they love it! It helps them to learn new words!


I don't know:

1. What I don't know...

that says it all!

I understand what you mean. If you don't know something, how can you know that you don't know it?!

But, there are some things that you know of, or about, but you don't know how to go about getting it done, or making it, etc.

So I think the question is more like:

Things I know I don't know [of/ about/ how to/ when to/ where to/ etc]:

How consciousness works? How does a clock work? Surely you wont get to find that out just by looking at its surface, the clock hands moving. You have to see inside of it :)

But better leave it alone, for below consciousness there exist endless oceans of calculations it seems.

1. What is the exact percentage of knowable things that I think that I know that I really don't know. (I wonder if it is less than 100%?)

2. What makes me care about knowing what I don't know.(why care?)

3. Why would anyone care what I think that I know, or don't know.(who cares?)
