If you were born knowing, Would still have learn what you were taught?

Answer 1

Who says I wasn't born knowing? Oh, right, they call those things "reflexive"... Or do you mean all knowing as in omniscient? Because of course if I were omniscient, there would be nothing for me to learn. So, I would have been the one doing the teaching. That would have been a hoot... "Excuse me, but this is not the correct way to raise a child!!!"

Okay, I am going to make myself dizzy again if I don't stop now.

Fun question to ponder. :)

Answer 2

If I were born with pre-knowledge I would still have been learning what I was taught at my parallel world. I thing I fell what I used to know before I born in this world into…

Answer 3

Reminds me of my old high school philosophy class and discussions about the tabula rasa.

I see the idea of innate ideas like amnesia. It was always there, but you just re-learn things to get them back.

That would mean that you're not learning what you're taught. You're just recovering a piece of knowledge you've had with you your whole life-span.

Mind boggling, eh?

Personally, I don't believe in innate ideas. I believe in tabula rasa, and that certain things are of nature [like babies and breastfeeding. nobody really taught us that].

Also, if we were born with 'pre-installed' knowledge, do we get to access all of it in our lifetimes? Or is there knowledge we have yet to uncover due to our 'early' deaths..when we could possibly live forever?
That could mean that all humans are all the same; in that they have innate ideas that they have uncovered at different times and at diffrent stages..and die before they recover all of those ideas.

EDIT/ further rant: If birth wasn't tramatic, would we be all knowing? I think that it would further give proof to tabul rasa, that we learn of hunger, pain, and fear once we are born.

Answer 4

There is so much to know, I don't think anyone could be born knowing everything because things are changing all the time.
Animals are born with instincts so they know more than humans do at birth.

Answer 5

Knowing what? We are incapable of knowing all as to know all would imply a level of omnipotence which we are not entitled to mortals.

Then again, we are all born knowing. We all know hunger, pain, fear. Birth shows us that. We also have the capacity to learn so does that not imply a level of knowledge?

One thing we cannot be born knowing is another's thoughts, opinion, hopes, dreams, fears, loves. There is so much to learn about oneself also.

Knowing is one thing. To use and make use of is another entirely.

Answer 6

Yes.

Even if I knew all that there is to know in the universe, some skills you absolutley can't be born with, and to use skills you need knowledge. Some skills I'm talking about are things like applying your knowledge to life, others, etc...more of the philosophical things you need to learn by experience in life.

Answer 7

I knew you were going to ask that question...

And I knew I was going to answer it...

Even though I just learned of my own "pre-cognitive" abilities just seconds ago...

And I knew I was going to learn that...but now I forgot how I knew that I would learn to know things before I know them without having to be taught that...

A lesson I have not learned very well...

Yet...

But I knew I would not know that yet...yet...somehow knew I didn't know that before I ever learned I knew that...

It's complicated...

Answer 8

Yes!
I would have been born knowing that I was going to re-learn what I already knew.
Your question reminds me to listen to my teachers.
Love!

Answer 9

I was born knowing, I was knowing negative. Of course I would continue to learn what I did not know, self consciousness.....now that I have reflected on that, I guess I would know the positive of my own breathing, not realizing of course it is my own.

The Will is positive, the Judgment is negative.

Answer 10

yes, we are born knowing what we know, but due to the stress of the birthing process, we forget an d need to learn again
