We take great comfort in what we “know.”
It can be scary to put yourself in a position where you can honestly say “I don’t know anything.” And yet it’s not that big of a leap to go from saying “X is true” to saying “my experience suggests that X is true.” You probably do that quite a bit already, but only with certain types of knowledge: subjects outside of your expertise.
You need only apply it across the board.
You don’t end up having less capability; you just have a more accurate and continually fresh perspective on that capability. It’s that perspective that allows you to learn more easily, looking for truths rather than defending what you think you know.
It’s akin to how you saw the world as a child, and it’s well worth revisiting.
