I know that I know nothing (Part 1) - Socrates

Socrates says that if you "know that you do not know", and therefore recognise a gap in your knowledge, you actually do know.

Why? When you admit that you do not know about a particular subject, you can awaken your desire to learn and fill that gap.

So, if you know that you do not know, in a sense, you know.

DEBRIEFING Part 1

During this experience, the ball is visible at certain moments: you know that you know where it is.

At other moments, the ball becomes invisible: you know that you do not know where it is.

At those moments, however, you draw on your own resources. You observe the interaction, assess the trajectory and work out the ball’s position, until you intercept it.

So, when you know that you do not know where the ball is, you can still work out its position.

Just as Socrates said: if you know that you do not know, you actually know.

I know that I know nothing (Part 2) - Socrates

The challenge now becomes more complex.

DEBRIEFING Part 2

In this experience, working out the ball’s trajectory is much harder: the ball remains invisible for too long.

When you know that you do not know the ball’s position, you draw on your resources, but adopt a different strategy from the first experience.

You know: you know that you do not know.
