There is no way to really know everything, he knew that, and even that we can't even know if there really isn't a way to really know everything.
The quote from Joseph Heller's "Catch-22" reflects the inherent uncertainty of knowledge. It suggests that complete understanding is unattainable, and even the belief that such understanding exists is questionable. This philosophical perspective highlights the limitations of human comprehension and the complexities of reality.
This notion resonates with the themes in "Catch-22," where characters often grapple with the absurdities of life and bureaucracy. Heller's work invites readers to confront the paradoxes of existence and challenges the notion of absolute truths, emphasizing that the search for certainty in an uncertain world may be itself a fruitless endeavor.
