- Exploring Alexander Pope's brilliant lines about how limited knowledge can be dangerous!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Welcome to the "Hickok45 Talks" Channel. This channel is a place for me to just pontificate about random topics that somebody out there might find interesting. I will talk about firearms issues quite a lot, but I'll also exercise my license to talk about any topic I might pretend to know something about.
If you have a topic you'd like me to address, let me know. Doesn't mean I'll address it, but who knows, I might.
Thanks for your support, and I hope you'll subscribe to all three of our channels and keep up with all the brilliance here!!! :-)
/ @hickok45 - Our main channel.
/ @hickok45clips - Our channel where John pulls clips from our existing library of videos.
/ @hickok45talks - This channel where all material is new material where I talk about one specific topic in each relatively short video. Hope you enjoy.
Watch out for that bear!!
If you blur the video it's a Bigfoot!
Lots of people confuse information with knowledge and wisdom. We have no shortage of information, but true knowledge and wisdom are much more scarce.
I think the problem is that we don't know what to do with the information we have access to or to know the difference between real and false information or how the information is presented.
These HickokTalks videos just go to show how amazing of a teacher this man must've been. Could listen to him for a long long time
Never stop learning.
till when ? you can't learn everything the system dictates that they want you to be a slave doesnt matter if you are a smart slave or a dumb one
@@DemosKratos you can pick something to learn a lot more about and overcome mediocrity. Be so good that you don't need to slave for anyone but yourself. but yup, you're still a slave. As long as you think so.
@@TheFlutecart you'd still be a slave doesnt change the fact that you are a slave sadly even if you are a ceo in a coroporation or the janitor in it.the system is broke we need to live like animals freely till then we' are nothing more than slaves for the order.
"A little knowledge can be more dangerous than none at all".
The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know. Thank you for the chat, Hickok45!
You and I both
Knowledge would be knowing there's a hungry black bear (or not) immediately over your left shoulder! 😂
See Dunning Kruger Effect. You're right on. Also talk to any college sophomore.
We love you, teacher. Thanks for all you do.
Hickok, this might very well be your best channel yet.
Thank you, please keep these bits of wisdom coming.
That is very true Mr. Hickok there is a surplus of idiocy on the internet !!!
Lack of knowledge and no accountability is the stuff of nightmares
This is an awesome lesson.....the more people realize that the internet is Dunning Kruger University the better....most of us haven't gotten to even the sophomore (literally wise fool) level, but we think we have the full degree....
One of my dad's favorite sayings. " He knows just enough to be dangerous". I have seen this to be true countless times over the years. In my self and other people.
I think you need to build an outhouse behind that bear. Carve a half moon in the door. Then when folks ask "Does a bear shit in the woods?" You can take them out to the woods and ask them to figure it out. Good tape, Greg.
Well I had a wise old Aunt who said ''Knowledge is no burden to carry'' Been pretty right so far. Cheers.
Beware of the guy who thinks he knows it all👍 Good lesson Hickok45!
A little knowledge may be dangerous. But ignorance definitely is dangerous.
In some cases though, it is good to take chances, make mistakes, and get messy!
I feel more dangerous already.
Appears the bear was captivated by at least your talk, if not the content. I enjoyed both.
Posting here to demonstrate my gratitude for your videos. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.
PS: Hickok45 for President!
One of the most valuable lessons I learned during my PhD in physics was how little that I really know.
This guy has real wisdom to impart
knowledge is very dangerous. I advise everyone to pursue knowledge. Knowledge allows you to think critically and that will allow you to be free. Know enough to know that you don't know enough about something to admit it and listen to someone else.
I remember Neil deGrasse Tyson touching on this a couple years ago, and there was even a meme created where he said something in the order of "thinking you know enough about a subject that you think you are right about something, but not knowing enough about the subject to know that your conclusion is wrong".
There's a BEAR!!!
This problem exists in people who have a little bit of knowledge, for example, about the American Civil War. They learn a bit, stop learning, are self-satisfied, and close their minds to new information.
" A truly wise man knows that he is not wise!"
We like hearing ya yack these days!
A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Good video 👍
Great vid!
not to be born in this cruel world is the luckiest of all in my opinion everything else is waste of time they are stalling us with phones computer weapons etc.. till we see the grave.
Right to own bear arms
I like to say that I Don't know everything about anything and just enough about a lot of things to be dangerous.
The more I learn the more I know that I don't know.
Good vid.
Knowledge certainly can be dangerous but I would say ignorance is as well.
So true. Suprising of how many develop expertise from minutes of speaking to a trusted source over one who has spent 34 years in national intelligence.
That explains a lot. Thank you>
There must be an angel that watches over people when they learn a little bit about something and try something WAY beyond their level and yet amazingly get away with it when they never should have. Not always though. Some.pay a high price for it. But not knowing how how difficult or impossible something is sometimes makes it more possible somehow.
In other words as Don Draper said…” Young people don’t know anything, especially that they are young.”
There are a lot of smart people in the world, and a lot of stupid ones
this is why i stay away from the “operator types” i’m a simple man from the midwest and all that wild stuff is just nonsense to me.
Brain or not a good chat.
Like when you don't know what you don't know.
I know enough to know I don't know sh!te.
i know everything
I have said this once and I will say it again, There Is No Such Thing as an Expert.
U should do a live stream
Sometimes you learn the bear….sometimes the bear learns you. (Yes I know it’s teach/teaches)
Drink from the spigot of wisdom and knowledge otherwise you will drown in the pool of idiocy and wokeness wake up people because there is a point of no return God forbid that we cross that threshold !!!
Hopefully you didn't pick the bear!!!
Epistemology. Nietzsche taught the phenomenon of Knowledge at Basal University...
never stop trying to learn.
