Back in the early 19th century an educated man or woman might easily know a good brunt of what there is to know, or at least what there was to know that was relevant to them. These days I'm starting to feel the same way. Anymore, I struggle to find new things to learn about that have a practical affect on my bottom line, my general acumen, or really anything that can help me in anyway. The mystery's pretty much went away and now I'm left to experience.
There isn't really any point to this thread, it just seems like an interesting topic to think about. What exactly would constitute reaching the upper limit of relevant knowledge one could have in the year 2016? Once you get to that point, if you're a knowledge junkie, where do you go from there? Is there some threshold where a thinker of this type just starts distancing themselves conceptually from people in the meat of the bell curve?
