Episode notes
Truth is Some But Not All
- Truth is always divided into parts that can be said and parts that cannot be said.
- This division is due to the infinite complexity of experience and the limits of time to express it all.
Love Reflects Partial Knowledge
- Love, like truth, cannot be fully expressed or known by another due to fundamental limits.
- Love exists in the space created by this necessary ignorance about the other.
Practice Learned Ignorance
- Embrace learned ignorance by accepting limits of knowledge about yourself and others.
- This stance allows a healthier relation to love, truth, and knowledge, avoiding narcissistic hate.
