I have met semi-literate village intellectuals with a lot of wisdom and highly educated scholars not in control of their motivations. The relationship between wisdom and knowledge is a tricky one. Let us try this formulation: wisdom without knowledge is an impossibility, knowledge without wisdom is vacuous. The point here really is the definition of knowledge or, more precisely, the privileging of a certain type of knowledge (let us call it, for lack of a better term, the academic variety) over other types. Such other types may be emotional knowledge, or social and cultural abilities. The whole sector of artistic expression should be mentioned as well. Just to make the point again: wisdom is based on knowledge, it is not a "return to childhood". So, little cherub, go out into this world and make yourself knowledgeable, you might get wisdom, too.

Not only that but also with god-like knowledge, we can now tap into the building blocks of life. We can combine animal and plant, make a plant part starfish. That has the benefit of making it impervious to specific diseases and insects. We call that a genetically modified organism or GMO.
Knowledge is no matter of time. If you have good books You have the key to knowledge. And knowledge is power.
"Ipsa scientia potestas est". The phrase “Knowledge is power” is commonly attributed to Francis Bacon,1597
I am beginning to wonder --
recently it seems the "power is power" and knowledge seems to have no place in American politics.
On Tuesday, the director of the US National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, resigned over the war in Iran, urging Trump to "reverse course".
In a letter, Kent argued that Iran posed no imminent threat to the US, despite the administration's repeated claims to the contrary.
Recently, Donald Trump made several blunt comments about Joe Kent after Kent resigned from his role as director of the National Counterterrorism Center in March 2026.
What Trump said:
Trump dismissed Kent as “weak on security”.
He said it was “a good thing that he’s out” of the administration.
He criticised Kent’s judgement, saying people who think Iran isn’t a threat are “not smart” or “not savvy.”
Kent resigned in protest over the U.S. war with Iran, arguing the conflict was unnecessary and based on misleading information.
Trump, by contrast, has defended the war as necessary for national security and based on credible threats.
And the weirdest bit of all - - - Trump nominated Kent in February 2025 to be director of the National Counterterrorism Center.

for beautiful eyes, look for the good in others
for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness
and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

The Forth Bridge was opened in 1890, having been 8 years in the construction. It was started in the knowledge that, given the poor safety standards of the time, men would die in the process. At its peak, approximately 4,600 workers were employed in the bridge's construction.
As of 2009 it was recorded that 73 men lost their lives in accidents. A memorial on shore records their names and occupations.
Two new bridges have since been constructed nearby: The Forth Road Bridge and The Queensferry Crossing.
For me, this original bridge is the most 'handsome' and characterful. We visited on a late autumn evening and stayed for sunset. The gathering dusk gave a sombre and reflective mood.

I know God has a plan. I pray for direction to follow it, patience to wait on it and knowledge to know when it comes.
The internet is a “mirage of knowledge” with an inexhaustible supply of “facts” to confirm any bias. It “encourages not only the illusion that we are all equally competent” but also the illusion “that we are all peers.”4 Since our society is based on the principle that we are all equal, we are encouraged to believe that everyone’s opinion is equally valid, regardless of whether it is based on actual knowledge. Reporters routinely ask ordinary people for their opinions, and “talking heads” on news programs spend hours speculating and pontificating on matters of which they have no direct knowledge, their comments based on presumptions with no attempt even to hide their biases. Any idea of maintaining a clear line between fact and opinion seems to have disappeared.

You see, I started this project for reasons unlike what most of you have described: better knowledge of your camera, a way to hone your skills, etc., etc. Me? I really did not see any point in having three hundred and sixty five photographs of myself. But, here’s how it happened:
Last summer I drove from my life in California back to my childhood home in Ohio. The decision to move home was based on necessity, not want. Over the course of the four-day cross-country drive, WITH MY MOTHER, I realized I was going to need one hell of an outlet if I was going to survive this transition year. During this drive across country, I also realized that not only would I need an outlet, a safe-haven, a secret-hide-out from my everyday life back home, I realized I would need some friends. Not one of my friends from high school or growing up was still around town. The whole drive I thought about the 365 projects I’d seen on Flickr, and by the time I got half way home, I’d decided that’s what I needed to do. I even convinced my mom on the drive that I needed a DSLR… you know… as an investment? Uh-huh. And a 365 was born on the night of August 16, 2008… the day my cross-continental drive came to an end and I was officially home. One year ago.
What I didn’t realize was just how much of an outlet this would be. I like to think of it as the one room in my house where no one can find me. What else I didn’t realize was… you people would become more than online-acquaintances. You would become friends, people I actually desire to meet.
It’s funny, this project, and what it does to you that you don’t expect. I’ve learned a lot about myself and my life over this past year (not just through the 365, lets not be dramatic), and I think maybe I’ve even learned a little photography along the way.
Thanks to everyone who has stopped by at one point or another over the past year.
Love,
Erin
