無知の知
In a tweet by tkgshn on August 6, 2021, it is suggested that exceptional Intellectual production may be akin to the horizon, rather than a finite concept. If we consider the red portion as "what we know," as we learn and expand our knowledge, the red portion also grows proportionally, while the black portion (our cognitive range) expands. The phrase "the more we learn, the more we realize how much we don't know" seems to capture this idea.
