Question

Answer 1

i have no friggin idea what you are talking about, 4.0 or no.

Answer 2

I think you're final summation/question is an expression of a basic tenet of knowledge, and a constant undertone of philosophical interpretation. Very cursorily: The acquisition of knowledge can often create vacuums in existing 'knowledge.' Historical examples of renown include the earth flat/round and earth/sun center of the universe. When it was concluded that the earth was round(ish), which was a single piece of information, volumes of previously believed information became obsolete/inaccurate. Ergo, by a certain criteria of measure, one could say our species knew less (became dumber). Two prominent examples in more modern day events include the planets Venus and Mars. In my mind, the greatest example of this tenet in modern times is introduction/discovery of quantum physics. But at the end of the day, chocolate is still tasty.
