And we will know everything there is to know. Of course, there is a catch to this dream. It won't help anyone, who has this ultimate chip, to understand the information he knows any better than he now does with limited information. Discernment is not quantifiable. It is a quality of thought that is developed over years of practice-unless you're a Keats or Shelley.
Most great thinkers grow into wisdom only after years of hard mental labor.
A striking example is Nelson Mandela who, after almost 30 years in prison, came out a far wiser, gentler leader. Thinking is hard work. Wisdom constantly demands of us new ideas. We cannot rest on our laurels, or past mental work. What we gain in understanding today must be built upon with new ideas tomorrow.
