By most accounts, knowing is a uniquely human trait. Animals don’t know in the same way that we know. The fact that we have the word “epistemology” is in itself a mark of our uniqueness.
This is part of the story of Genesis 1-3. It tells a story about knowledge, the desire for knowledge, and the human capacity to bear the weight of knowledge. What we seek to know, and how we come to know it, and the ability of our brains (and souls and bodies) to actually handle that knowledge all have limits.
More information about a specific subject, issue, project, product, or person is often helpful. Knowing a lot about one thing is a step towards wisdom. Because you’ll have more data and perspectives that give you a clearer idea of what you might do.
However…
More information about many subjects, issues, projects, products, or people is often overwhelming. Knowing a little bit about a lot of things is a step towards foolishness. Because you’ll know about all the problems, but have very little idea of what you can actually do in response.
