Summary

This quote suggests that having a vast amount of knowledge without organization or structure can actually lead to increased confusion. It implies that knowledge alone is not enough; one must possess the ability to organize and understand the information they have acquired. Without order, the accumulation of knowledge can actually hinder one's ability to absorb and comprehend information effectively, ultimately leading to greater confusion.
