Poetry Friday: What I Know About Epistemology
May 22nd, 2009
It is college — and pretty soon high school — graduation season. This week’s selection is one of those poems that captures just a bit of wisdom about life for graduates and for the rest of us.
What I Know About Epistemology
by John Surowiecki
As the light goes, go.
Be the rustling in the grass, the fall from
convention’s good graces: learn, or someone
will have you filing files or writing writs,
demonstrating cutlery or selling knowledge
door to door; someone might even drop
your lovely life into a factory and have you
derusting rings on the coolant-spouting
turntable of a vertical lathe.

I wasn’t expecting this poem to make me feel smart!
“And the best part is,
you always know more than you know.”
Ahhhh…..
