The Philosophy of Knowing and Not Knowing

It is true there are things you know, and there are things you do not know.
It is wise to properly separate things you know from things you do not know.
It really is that easy, the separation of things you know from things you do not know.
You pick a matter for discussion, any matter, and then you make two lists. One list is a list of things you are certain about in the matter, and the other list is a list of things you are uncertain about in the matter. Of course, you must always ensure you're actually certain of things you list as things you are certain about, as it is a sign of at least a cognitive issue when an individual says they are certain of a thing they are not actually certain about.
The infinite ability for one to properly separate things they know from things they do not know, is an ability limited only by time and chance; an ability any human free of cognitive bias and/or mental/physical health issues can do. It's what it means to be normal.
