<p>The unknown has always been looming larger over the head of knowers than the known. The more you strive to know, the clearer it becomes that the unknown is real than what is really known to knowers. </p>.<p>However, for those of us who remain comparatively lackadaisical and complacent, the unknown does not hold as much intrigue as it does for seekers who are always engaged in expanding the scope of their knowledge by following the path of discipline in a dedicated manner. But can knowledge be compared? No, it can’t be compared. Intelligence, analytical capacity, data, whole gamut of information in its myriad forms, all this is comparable but knowledge isn’t comparable. This is the difference between artificial intelligence and human consciousness. And, this difference is eternal. As, real knowledge means ‘becoming’ it and not ‘having’ it. It's 'attaining’ not ‘acquiring’. People attain it and they become knowledgeable, can you compare people? No, you shouldn’t do that. Everyone is unique.</p>.<p>Any attempt by anyone to compare people becomes an attempt to tamper with human dignity. The question which needs to be settled is - how to decide who is most knowledgeable. It is something like asking which country is most sovereign among the comity of nations.

If you look deeper then you will discover that there is hardly anything that exists in the universe (including the universe itself) which is not a 'shared’ thing. But when this sharing happens in the prescribed manner then the beauty of this endeavour enhances and, its outcome is augmented for the whole of humanity. Concern is that humanity is making strides in the field of consciousness as well as in the field of artificial intelligence.
