“Aporia teaches us that we don’t know what we thought we knew, and we are all the better for finding out. After all, it is better to have knowledge of our ignorance than to be ignorant of our ignorance.”
— Oscar Davis, What is the Socratic method? Could it be used to test students in an age of AI? (The Conversation, October 2026)

“Whatever inspiration is, it’s born from a continuous ‘I don’t know’… This is why I value that little phrase ‘I don’t know’ so highly. It’s small, but it flies on mighty wings.”
— Wisława Szymborska (Nobel Lecture, 1996)
