It is really hard to claim you know everything in this current age where we have information overflow from all directions.

These guys were great as i can read and also the world had not yet developed to peak levels we are at now.

I am amused by how almost most of Athanasius Kircher's work was proven wrong,especially the part where he was viewing bloodcells 🙆🙆.

I have read some counts about how great Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was and am happy he is on the list.

The one who deserved to be on top is the on you put at the bottom hahaha!!
The walking encyclopedia Thomas Young,damn he was abke to read at 2 and had read the Bible twice by age 4..!!!!! I have not even reached half way the bible yet!

I do now accept this guy was a "know-it-all"

By the time he was a teen, Young was reading in Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Persian, Syriac, and Chaldean. By 20, he also had learned French, German, Spanish, Arabic, and Italian.

How can someone like me have or develop such abilities in this current age?
