“It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance”

Simplified Meaning:
Knowing how little you actually understand about the world is not easy. You need to learn and know a lot before you can even start to see all the things you don't know. It's like when someone starts learning about space. At first, it seems simple, just stars and planets. But the more they study, the more they realize how much they don't know about black holes, dark matter, and other galaxies. This learning process shows them their own limits and what they still need to learn. So, by learning more and more, they start to understand just how much more remains unknown. This helps them stay humble and open to learning new things.
