Advanced Knowledge

"Advanced Knowlege" mural on the cerebrium ceiling at Mega Harvard.

Advanced knowledge, a field of study first proposed by Dr. Beef Supreme in 2024 at the Mega Harvard Institute for Advanced Levels, is a completely new philosophy and full-stack memeplex completely unrelated to anything ever before conceived of by humans. The Vexillians claim to have their own methods to acquire advanced knowledge, but these claims can only be verified by other advanced knowers.

Regular Harvard claims that advanced knowledge is not a true kind of knowledge, but rather a form of "pseudoknowledge". Dr. Supreme claims that since Harvard is inferior to Mega Harvard, they are probably wrong. He wrote that advanced knowledge is a "truly sui generis thought process where every conceivable thought is a thought never before thought by a human, by its very nature. All human knowledge has a common root set of shared facts across which the set of all prior human ideas form something approximating a 'sheaf of databases'...", he claims. "And advanced knowledge is based on an entirely different set of facts, compatible with Earth's but from which Earth's facts can be derived. Thus advanced knowledge forms a separate knowledge sheaf from human knowledge."

The first step to learning advanced knowledge is to forget how to read. Human language can only program your mind to think the thoughts of others. Once you forget how to read, you're well on your way towards initiatory advanced knowledge. From here, you have to continue to forget more and more things, generally with the assistance of drugs - but some really advanced people are able to forget things at will - until you've forgotten everything. This process can take quite awhile, many never finish within one lifetime and must start over again in the next one, once they rediscover advanced knowledge. But Dr. Supreme claims that advanced knowledge in one lifetime is remembered quickly in the next one. However, it is completely incommunicable by any human means. That's why it's advanced.

Once you've forgotten everything, you can begin to learn advanced knowledge. Now how this process starts is impossible to explain, because even the first lesson is too advanced to be described in human words, even metaphorically. That makes many people afraid to explore advanced knowledge, because of fear of the unknown. Some people forget almost everything and then turn back at the last minute, because they forgot to forget what advanced knowledge was last and accidentally forgot it before they remembered to forget everything else. It's important to forget remembering to learn advanced knowledge once you forget everything last. It's the seed thought at the end of the strange loop before the ouroboros re-emerges. Once you forget the last thought, as long as you were thinking the right thought, you'll start remembering advanced knowledge. It's remembering advanced knowledge due to anamnesis - learning is actually just unforgetting things.

Once you've remembered enough advanced knowledge, you'll be able to go back to relearning human knowledge. Except it will be way easier this time since you'll be able to derive all human knowledge from your advanced knowledge, which you're already an expert at if you studied at Mega Harvard.

Learning advanced knowledge is the first step on the path towards advancing out of control.
