I had somebody ask me once a really interesting question. “If you were a character in the matrix and you could download all the knowledge of one thing what would it be?” My answer was all facets human language. Language is one of the biggest things that separates us from other animals. Human beings have the ability to communicate about phenomenon that they have never seen and phenomenon that does not exist. Incredible. If I knew every word and understood all aspects of communication, I cannot imagine what a playground the world would be. His answer to his own question was parkour btw.

r/entp on Reddit: What do you think is the most valuable knowledge in the world?
November 22, 2018 -

Yes, I know, entirely subjective.. But this is something I often think about. I have not arrived at any conclusion, still searching. I know there is likely no definitive answer I think diversification of knowledge is probably most important, but if you were to prioritize knowledge or rank it how would you personally rank it?

Personally I think maybe knowing your mind and perception is most important as it is the filter through which all external and internal stimuli flows. It was what helped discover math, science etc (strengths) but also contains the biggest weaknesses of the human race.

October 22, 2025 - Garfield’s focus on Britannica, which has operated since 1768, led The New York Times to call it his “de facto protagonist.” He notes that the encyclopedia giant paid experts to be sole authors of articles about their topic of study; for example, Sigmund Freud on psychoanalysis, Marie Curie on radium, Alfred Hitchcock on film production. Britannica estimated that it paid $32 million to create its 15th edition, not including printing costs, which is why Garfield calls Britannica “the largest single private investment in publishing history.”

What Are The Most Important Things To Know? | Issue 94 | Philosophy Now
Another way to put the question is, ‘What are the most important things to learn?’ This in turn leads us to ask, ‘What are the aims of education?’ I suggest that the aim of education is to enable us to function well in this world. Thus, the most important things to know are not ‘things’, that is, facts: the most important knowledge is ‘know-how’ rather than ‘know-that’. Life consists of activities which may be done well or not.
