Intellectual Sophistication: Why You Don’t Need a College Degree If You Want to Excel in Tech

Teach yourself. It’s a better use of time. And, money.

There is a circular question we have to ask, ourselves, all of us, and, if we are brave enough, we have to ask others. It goes like this: if we don’t already know everything there is to know, why are we studying everything? How will we know when we know everything if we don’t already know it now, or are we going to pretend we don’t know, just so we can keep searching for the time and place when, and where, we will (be brave enough to) know everything?

Or, is it that someone told us we didn’t know everything (when we tried to tell them something they thought they already knew). Knowing and not-knowing cause all the questions, and the answers, and the arguments, and the problems we are forced to solve.

Yes, this is Zeno’s paradox, and, yes, this is a circular question begging a circular answer, for you cannot have true without false (or yes without no) (knowledge without lack-of-knowledge) because complementarity is the basis for identity (any discipline) (any system).

This forces us to an intellectual sophistication driven by technology. Zero and one are circumference and diameter because you can’t have one without the other (each, the pair, the pairs). Therefore, complementarity is the basis for the conservation of a circle, and vice versa.

And the conservation of a circle is the ‘answer’ we’re seeking (for those of us who insist on seeking), and it’s also the answer for those who are not afraid to say ‘I already knew that.’

This clears up all the problems for half-of-everyone, and forces new problems on the other half. The circle is conserved. So, now you know! Everything.

Conservation of the circle is the core dynamic in nature.
