If you know more, is it easier to know even more or is it harder because there are less things to know?

If you know more you know more stuff you didn't know. Ipso facto?

Answers:
One thing I do know is that even the most intellent being will never run out of things to learn.
The more intelligent a person the more they can access information and find specific information. A person of not such an intelligent dispostion can still learn through YA :D
You can never know everything.
The more you learn, the more you realise there is to learn. You become aware of subjects that you previously thought never existed.

If you had an unlimited life span then theoretically you would know everything eventualy.

But it's not about knowing things.it's about being able to remember what you learn. And the only way you remember is when you use that knowledge regularly, and the more things you learn, the less likely you are of using all your knowledge.
Apparantly this is true... that professors know a hell of alot about a certain subject but nothing about anything else. So someone who is very wise you would have to say they know alot about most things but not specifically about one thing.
I'm not quite sure.. but thinking is powerful and powerful things are dangerous, my mom told me never to play with dangerous things. therefore i don't think..don't hurt yourself trying
If you learn something new, its easier to attach more things to learn by using the previous "learnt thing" as a basis to support new concepts. Its never harder because there are less things to know, its harder because they is more to learn and you have to be able to remember it all.
I think you'd know better than me. I say ignorance is bliss. Don't worry, be happy.
Knowledge is power.i love finding out new things.you can Never know everything.
Impossible to answer. The thing is, you cannot know what it is that you do not know, because as soon as you become aware of what you do not know about a particular subject, then you know that you do not know about it and you can do something to find about what it was was you formerly didn't know about. Also it is not just book learning, true knowledge must encompass actual experience of the subject as well. You can read a book, watch a film or DVD of, say having a child, but until you actually are a parent the book knowledge is just that. So, it doesn't matter how much you know because there will always be more stuff that you are not even aware of that you do not know about.

If any of that makes sense?
It's easier to know more.
There's always new stuff to know, be in poetry, science, practical knowledge, philosophy, history, arts, fashion or political affairs.
The more you know, the broader your foundation is, as well as how open you are to accepting new ideas.
There is never too little to know. However, there is a lot of truth in 'Ignorance is bliss'.
Each person has their expectations and their ideals. Most, like me, are happy with what they have. It isn't really relevant what the next person has or thinks. People's ideals can be destroyed by others bragging about their experiences elsewhere but, at the end of the day, if you can be happy with your own experiences then why compare them to others?
It all comes back to the old adage, 'Why fix something that isn't broken?' Yes, intelligence has it's advantages but so does a loving upbringing in a simple environment.
The more you know, the more you realize you don't know. Everytime I take another physics course, I realize how much I still have to learn that I hadn't even heard of before.
Epistemology is the word, no matter how you live you can learn everything. Its the terminology of Psychologists, you forget non relative information.
its easier to know even more because we are all on a learning curve and will never know all of the answers ..and if you know more stuff .you didn't know ...YOU know more THAN you did .. what does ipso facto mean Im still on a learning curve
