"This axiom suggests that there are three stages of knowledge. "**The first level is simplicity born of ignorance**, as when somebody says, “Oh that’s simple,” but doesn’t know what they are talking about. "**The second level is complexity born of understanding**-when one realizes a subject is far more complex than it first appears on the surface. "**The third level is simplicity born of profound understanding**. Only a few get to this lofty state." --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[knowledge-management]], [[teachers]], [[Richard Feynman|Feynman]] **Source** -- [[20250112015442 - B - If Disney Ran Your Hospital]]
