The listing refers to “the 1969 Poynette Rock Festival”, but I think this must be…

Popper on Ignorance
“The more we learn about the world, and the deeper our learning, the more conscious, specific, and articulate will be our knowledge of what we do not know, our knowledge of our ignorance” (Popper 2002 [1963], 38). “our knowledge can be only finite, while our ignorance must necessarily be infinite” (Popper 2002 [1963], 38). “while…
