Not gain knowledge or gain the right knowledge or even think better, because those are constrained to certain assumptions. I want to escape illusions. How do I do that and get better at that?

I know, smarter generally means better at brain stuff. Better thinking. Having a lot of good knowledge stored in your head too.
But there is infinitely more the the world than thinking. And having ideas about the world is a pretty shallow form of understanding. Ideas are like shadows.
So a better kind of smarter would give you better understanding of this “infinitely more”. That’s the kind of smarter I’m looking at.
