In this episode of Know About Everything, we explore what knowledge truly means in a world overflowing with information. The episode explains the crucial difference between information, knowledge, and wisdom, emphasizing that access to data does not automatically lead to understanding. While modern technology delivers instant answers, true knowledge requires reflection, context, patience, and the willingness to question assumptions.

The episode traces knowledge from ancient traditions, where it was deeply tied to meaning and morality, to the digital age, where speed and certainty often replace depth and humility. It highlights that knowledge carries responsibility, shaping ethical choices and influencing how individuals and societies act. Intelligence without values, the episode warns, can become dangerous rather than liberating.

Listeners are also invited to consider the human role in an age of artificial intelligence. While machines can process information, they cannot understand meaning, feel curiosity, or apply wisdom. These remain uniquely human tasks. The episode concludes that knowledge is not a destination but an ongoing relationship with learning, driven by curiosity, empathy, and ethical awareness — and that the most important knowledge is not stored, but lived.
