Repeat after me: "Everything you know is wrong".

Once you say that, know that it's an overstatement that's just easier to say than "in all probability, some of the things you know that you hold most dear are wrong". Always keep an open mind. Realize you've probably been misled or lied to about some things, and never stop questioning.

Your Say

The first 18+ years of your life are based in stuff others told you, most of it wrong. Then you spend the rest of your life discovering the truth, if you so desire.

Look around, hardly anyone desires truth.

Is this "The Matrix"?

"Always keep this in the back of your mind: "everything you know is wrong"."

I prefer the term "There are more right answers and less right answers".
