I'd love to have "A little learning is a dangerous thing".
I started my PhD thesis with the first two lines of this poem...

And it's so very apt for many, many discussions!

@svw@fosstodon.org This is lovely! "behold with strange surprise \ New distant scenes of endless science rise !" Really evokes those moments when you glimpse how much you don't know about a thing – thalassophobia of the mind? Like when I daydream about going into security or neuroscience 😅 During deep burnout, *everything* felt like that... couldn't start anything, because I couldn't meaningfully progress. Glad I get to enjoy rabbitholes again. Just imagine how many endless burrows those Alps can fit :D
