Learning vs Knowing Quote

"The shadow side of knowledge is that knowing prevents us from learning. The state of learning is the state of openness to all possibilities, whereas the state of knowing is a state of closedness to further possibilities."
Teal Swan

New Google Maps are awesome:

STEP 1
Open Google Maps and enable new maps (if you haven't yet). Zoom out till you can.

STEP2
Click on satellite view on the bottom left corner box. You will see Earth like this: You can see real time Earth shadow, the shadowed part of Earth is actually dark at the particular moment you are seeing. The lights as indicated by smaller arrow are the actual glow of city street light (not real time though).

STEP 3
Zoom in by two mouse scrolls: Those cloud cover are actual! And in real time! Isn't it incredible?

Buddhist concept of the universe

"Imagine a multidimensional spider's web in the early morning covered with dew drops. And every dew drop contains the reflection of all the other dew drops. And, in each reflected dew drop, the reflections of all the other dew drops in that reflection. And so ad infinitum. That is the Buddhist conception of the universe in an image."
