“There is something I don’t know that I am supposed to know. I don’t know what it is I don’t know, and yet I am supposed to know, and I feel I look stupid if I seem both not to know it and not to know what it is I don’t know. Therefore I pretend I know it. This is nerve-racking since I don’t know what I must pretend to know. Therefore I pretend to know everything. I feel you know what I am supposed to know but you can’t tell me what it is because you don’t know that I don’t know what it is.”
