“Much of what other people know isn’t worth knowing.”Nassim Nicholas Taleb
In a world overflowing with information, not everything we come across is valuable or worth our time. For example, instead of mindlessly scrolling through social media for hours, we can choose to read a book that expands our knowledge or enhances our skills. By being selective with the information we consume, we can focus on what truly adds value to our lives.
For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
Proverbs 2:6 emphasizes the importance of seeking wisdom as a treasure, implying that not all knowledge is equal. Just as Taleb suggests that not everything others know is worth knowing, the Bible encourages us to value wisdom above all else, guiding us to discern what information is truly valuable.
