    "To obtain knowledge add things everyday. To obtain wisdom subtract things everyday."

    To add knowledge…your dentist knows if you vape when they look in your mouth.

    It’s a thought provoking Taoist teaching. What do you think Laozi means? How do you interpret it? I also am curious why others find the quote funny. The Tao Te Ching is one of the great philosophical and religious texts of Taoism.

    On a first hit hearing it…

    I take we need knowledge and have to consume it. But at the same time after digesting that knowledge we need to analyze and dismiss the negative (learn).

    Short and Sweet quick take…

    And super appreciate your post!

    Knowledge: collecting data/evidence/information
    Wisdom: knowing which data/evidence/information is useful for a desired goal

    Reminds me of the teacup story.

    Go GATORS!
