Knowledge which is not actively applied toward its own replacement exerts a force akin to drag on our mind. The Known is like a blanket we lay over ourselves and reality, which (partly through labels) re-renders identity in a gravely oversimplified way. The result is not authentic experience, but a sort of evaluative filter which obstructs our active senses of arrival, presence, reflection, and departure. In this sense knowledge blocks our access to learning, which is an expansion not only of content but of ways, limits and orders.
