While doing my the vocabulary in my homework today I came across the word Meta-cognition. The defintion is simply, knowing about kowing. Natrually I was intrigued and also slightly confused. I am pretty sure not to many people have this ability. People never seem to be able to admit when their wrong, they just believe they are always right. Yet at the same time there is no way to know if what a peson knows in the truth. People have always "known" things. We knew the world was flat. We knew that cocaine was good for you. Somehow we dont believe these things to be true. We can not possibly "know" anything for sure. So we can not even know about knowing. I thought it was kind of trippy. It had me thinking for a while.
