Knowledge vs. Self-Knowledge

The distinction between knowledge and self-knowledge is crucial, as it addresses the disparity between our understanding of the external world and the complexities of our psyche. While significant resources are invested in scientific research by governments and corporations, a meager portion is allocated for exploring self-knowledge. This lack of focus on internal understanding has detrimental effects; humanity's detachment from its inner self can lead to existential risks and societal issues. Carl Jung's observations point to the urgency of this exploration, emphasizing that an understanding of the human psyche is vital to navigate our increasingly complex realities.
