Explaining Everything

[ThaChozenWun]

I don't think over-explaining is possible. Neither is being able to explain everything.

The world and the universe is constantly in motion, going through evolution, galaxies colliding and killing one another, death stars sucking everything up. It's just too much to know everything, ever. Because of that you could never over-explain, and the more complex an explanation the better.

If you're worried about simple words, then keep away from the people who are searching. And what at the current moment is too complex for one generation, is simple usage to the next generation who are taught that growing up.

thats why i look for simple answers or simply chalk it up to unexplainable.

Religious nut post.

It would seem that even explanations would have subsets of other explanations that may go on forever.

I don't think there is ever a final answer, imo to have the final and complete answer would be to believe you know it all, and if you know it all you'd have to be the supreme. And to settle with an explanation without seeking or wanting to learn the subsets is ignorance.

True...but ignorance isn't always bad especially if there are grounds in which you don't need an explanation; that you trust that you don't need the subsets. The question may be whether or not we trust the one doing the explaining. If not, then seek those subsets.

I'm trying to figure out when being in ignorance of an explanation would be better.

There is being in ignorance and acting in ignorance. Being in ignorance is a lot more forgiving. There is a chance that maybe that person will have a change of heart or understanding. Acting ignorance can get somebody in trouble. But I can say that using the term a majority of the time is in the offensive.

Quite frankly, I don't understand wtf you're trying to say half the time. This would be one of those times.

Could be B.A....could be. But I can respect that you don't understand my thought process. I can't be right all the time. It just may be a good thing to ignore this particular thread.

maybe he meant to say that sometimes it's wiser to remain ignorant because the truth cannot be worded and explanation attemps could only work as a poison for the open mind.....one might lose sight of the essence when confronted with wack explanations. Sometimes it wiser to say that you don't know, because in essence u really don't know....sometimes it's not possible to know stuff, so u really aren't ignorant.

Okay, this made a lot sense, and I can agree to it too. Thank you for taking the time to break it down for me instead of leaving me in ignorance!
