Nicholas of Cusa

In the film Nicholas of Cusa I found it to be very interesting because if we think that we want to learn more than others just to be smart we are just going to discover that we are only learning about our own ignorance. If we think that way then we will only find ourselves in a world of unknown knowledge that we can not fix until we admit that we do not know anything. He said that if we know that we do not know anything than we will learn more which sounds confusing but make sense because we will learn more about the unknown.

Cusa said that in the beginning process of everything we are trying to learn is easy, but as we go further into it gets hard because it is the beginning that we have to go back to but in order to get back into that beginning we are difficult ways to get there. I think that once we pass though the difficult paths it will become easier because we are back in the beginning so it should be easier. I also think that numbers are the way of the way of the knowledge but because there are infinite possibilities we will never reach the answers we are looking for.
