(Part 9yu of 11)
1. We think it wise and intelligent to refer to, and often to defer to the logic of, experts, professionals, scientists, researchers, universities, authorities, officials, governments or anybody we think knows more than us in a particular area.
2. However, in contrast, we have an immediate full being rejection of someone who is learned in multiple subject areas. Wait a minute. This negative reaction only takes place when that learning did not come from the miseducation system that approves and gives credibility to those in #1 above.
Why do we have a dichotomy where we call #1 an expert and #2 some who “thinks they know-it-all?”
Many of us will also go as far as taking a person's expertise in one area, and assuming that person has expertise in another area. We think, well that person's a doctor, they must also understand health. Or we think, well that person's a lawyer, they must have good reasoning skills. And so on we go compounding the first mistake.
So why do we like experts who have the acceptable papers to prove it; however, we do not like experts in multiple subject areas because they don't have the papers to prove it?
The answer is simple and what we know to be true about ourselves and others.
We don't like it when someone else does something that we can't do, wish we could do, or don't think we can do. Therefore our immediate dislike for a person we think thinks they know-it-all, is actually an admittance of our lack of belief in self that we can also learn many things on our own using multiple ways of knowing without having to rely on being taught by others who will give us papers to certify and prove we possess knowledge. We don't believe we can become good at many things by teaching ourselves. Teaching ourselves means with the help of the extended self, epigenetics, spirit-soul, ancestors.In other words, we we call someone a know-it-all, and come to that conclusion without basing it on that person's logic, it is because we are using deflection and making an excuse for ourselves by saying to ourselves the reason I don't know something is because nobody taught me or I didn't go to school or I don't have the money to go to college or trade school because that's the only way I can learn what I need to learn; therefore can't nobody else do it either, therefore when I encounter someone who has, it can't be real; therefore they must think they know-it-all. This is the convoluted polluted logic we possess
3. Finally we bring together, combine, join and reunite the dichotomy of the acceptable expert who we think knows-it-all and the unacceptable expert, aka the one who we think thinks they know-it-all. In both instances, it is us who are the ones who think people know-it-all; however, we only dislike those whose ability to learn reminds us of our deficiency.
4. Think about it. We expect people like presidents and elected officials who are legislators to be well-versed on multiple topics worldwide, nationally, locally and historically. We also expect them to be regular people like us. We also do not expect them to have gone to school and graduated with degrees in all these topics. We recognize there is no such degree to be had for subjects such as life, humanity, decency, morality, etc. So we still listen to these people and their ideas and we judge them based on the merits of their logic, not based on “they think they know-it-all.”
5. When we have this dichotomous view of know-it-alls, it is evidence that we do not believe in our own genius, which is why we don't believe in it in others. We treat genius as a rarity when in fact, it is present in everyone and all things.
6. "Free and critical minds can emerge only by a return to the source-the primary sources. A free and critical mind takes nothing for granted and is not intimidated by "authorities" who frequently may be more confused than the general public. Free and critical minds seek truth without chauvinism or shame." - Dr. Asa G. Hilliard III
7. Once again, the only ones who say, you think you know-it-all, are those who think small of themselves.
8. Lastly, why, when we go to school, are we expected to study multiple subjects simultaneously, absorb and understand, regurgitate, and get good grades? Are we trying to be know-it-alls when we strive to display understanding in multiple subjects? Being a know-it-all is what life requires.
9. Therefore the know-it-all dichotomy syndrome is not something that afflicts the person who is learned in multiple subjects, yet has no papers, bur rather the know-it-all dichotomy syndrome afflicts those who don't know that they too have the capacity to know-it-all because they are the child of the all-knowing.
10. Therefore we must conclude that someone who has the know-it-all dichotomy is someone who doesn't know all that God is, not even broadly. This must be so when a person a person who knows less is viewed more favorably simply because the society says that person knows what they know, and neither know-it-all is judged correctly based on their logic.
11. To know-it-all simply means to know what you need to know and also what you are interested in knowing. Isn't that possible?
