We Know Little, But Show A Lot
The Disappearing Depth of Knowledge
Once upon a time, a person spent ten years studying soil microbiology before publishing a single research paper. Today, someone listens to two podcast episodes on “gut health” and goes viral explaining probiotics in 30 seconds. What changed?
We did.
How the Age of Appearances Is Diluting the Power of Real Knowledge
Today, our world is obsessed with appearances, and here, knowledge is no longer a power — it’s only content. Its value is no longer in its depth, but in its presentation. This shift has made us feel risky and have illusory confidence, which are deeply hollow at the same time.
We now live in an era where knowledge is being consumed, rehashed, and redistributed at breakneck speed.
The troubling part? No one’s really asking: —
Where did this knowledge come from? Who’s validating it? And is it even true anymore?
We have stopped digging. We have stopped questioning. We have become performers of information rather than students of truth. Now going in depth is a waste of time and not a cool thing anymore.
