Well, the counter-argument is that you won't know what you need to know until you realize you don't know it.

How do you even know what you need to know?

Interesting!

To me one of the most fascinating things is the way babies learn!

How does a brand new brain (that knows nothing) start learning?

Of course, I don't know! I just know that babies are cute and this topic is interesting.

But, I think as soon as you can ask a question, you know enough to ask the next one which will ultimately result in learning everything if you had infinite time.

We are all familiar with the age babies start asking questions that our answer only leads them to a new question, and then another, and another, until we say enough with the questions let's go eat an ice cream! :)
