“Knowledge is true opinion”
— Plato
Simplified Meaning:
When you truly understand something, you know it to be accurate and reliable. This is a bit like having a strong opinion based on facts. For instance, if you learn to ride a bike, you know from experience that balancing is essential. It's not just an idea you have, but something you’re sure of because you’ve practiced and proven it to yourself. Imagine you have a friend who explains how climate change works, and you see the data and evidence. This knowledge then turns into a true opinion – you believe in climate change because you understand the reasons behind it. Applying this, if you read and learn about new things carefully and verify them, your opinions will be solid and trustworthy. It's about turning information and learning into sure, dependable thoughts.
