Answer 1

human nature is as deep as sea

as much you enter you cann't touch bottom

Answer 2

Imagine an infinite checker board, and what you know is one square. What you "know" you don't know if the adjoining squares (meaning, the eight squares around your knowledge are the questions you can form based on your current knowledge. If you expand your knowledge to four squares now the adjoining squares are 12 squares. They larger your knowledge base (in squares) the larger the perimeter is so the more you know the less you know (meaning the more things you DON'T know about but can formulate a question for.

Does this help, or does it just bring on more questions? Ha ha.

Answer 3

sorry i have no idea what you are on about, crazy woman.

Answer 4

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, but I think you want an explanation? Well I think the phrase is related to this quote " True knowledge is knowing that you know nothing" So the more you learn, the more you realize that you don't know anything, in other words the more you know the less you know.

Answer 5

You need to learn proper sentence structure, spelling, and basic use of the American English Language... but I will help you anyway.

The comment you made basically means that the more you know, the more you understand that there is infinitely more that you need to know- that you cannot ever know "everything".  

Answer 6

What?

What did you say?

Answer 7

What you know, compared to what you don't, is very insignificant. It's likle a piece of paper with a dot in the middle. As you learn, the dot gets, maybe twice the size. You know more, and your contact with what you don't know is largewr because the larger dot has more perimeter.

Answer 8

You can also look at it like this: You can't really "know" anything for certain except the fact that you are alive (cogito ergo sum). So the more you THINK you know for certain, the farther into ignorance you drive yourself and the more closed your mind draws.

Answer 9

Perhaps you have a slight mixup- for "the more you know"  the more you realise how much more there is to know,
