As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don’t know
We don’t know.
-“Unknown Unknowns” a poem by former US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
I love when Louis CK tried to get him to say he wasn’t a lizard and you can see Rumsfeld’s media training kick in. It was really funny just having Louis try to break it.
