"賢者は絶対的な確実性を信じない"
— Umberto Eco
Copied to clipboard
Simplified Meaning:
A smart person knows that it’s impossible to be 100% sure about everything. In life, new information can always change what we know. For example, many years ago, people thought the Earth was flat. When new facts came along, like pictures from space, we learned it’s round. This shows it’s important to stay open-minded and ready to learn. If you think you know everything, you might miss out on new ideas or better solutions. So, it’s wise to be flexible and understand that what we believe can change with new knowledge.
