There is a piece of knowledge that exists. Somewhere, somehow, someone in the world knows this piece of knowledge. You don't know what this piece of knowledge contains, but one thing you do know for certain is that this piece of knowledge is depressing. That being said, this piece of knowledge can be anything. It can be about you, or it can be not about you. It can be important, or it can be not important. It can be easy or difficult to forget. You don't know anything other than that it is existent and that it is depressing.
1. Would you want to know?
Suppose that you want to know. You venture on your way, and one day, a sage tells you that he knows of this piece of knowledge that you seek. You know without a doubt that this sage knows the piece of knowledge that you are looking for, and that he is not going to deceive you. He gives you two options. He can either tell you if this piece of knowledge is about you or not, or he can tell you what this piece of knowledge is about. He can not tell you both, and it is impossible for you to find out.
2. Which part of this piece of knowledge do you want to know? Keep in mind that you know for certain that the knowledge is depressing.
