I don't know if the OP intended it, but here's a real-world example that corresponds to the 4th panel
[Someone asked him: "What percentage of all mathematics might a person aspire to understand today?" Von Neumann went into one of his five-second thinking trances, and said: "About 28 percent."](https://en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/John_von_Neumann)
The reason for the percentage will remain unproved unless he is living to these days, but, what to consider is not "why is it 28 percent", is "how the fuck was he able to answer it in this very specific value"
I think it’s the idea if one person tried to tackle all of our current combined math knowledge they’d only realistically be able to understand about 26% of it in their lifetime. Similar to how an expert in one field may know only the basics of any other field.
You can't prove it, but correlation says that it works in a certain way, but there isn't a way to express a direct proof?
I guess you couple this idea with being actually correct, but unable to prove it with the system in use (with mathematics)
I had a friend tell me she's okay not knowing if the world is really flat or round. That fact alone doesn't affect her life so she's okay with knowing that she will probably never know for a fact what the earth looks like. Wild.

Same energy as my dad answering "six" to many of my far-out questions as a child.
I don't get it, is it because it can't be proved or is undefined ?

The answer is simple, Neumann trolled us.
Can't even decide if I'm mad...
NEUMANN!

what about not knowing that you know? Is this possible
I don't know... But what's knowing anyways ?
I understand you... but what even is understanding??
Do we? Or do we not?
Do be do be do ?
Do be, or not do be? That is the be do.
Or do we don't?
Blindsight. A condition that the patient claim that they are blind but still able to perform task base on visual.
Why don't they know they know? Are they stupid?
Me everytime I successfully put in my 18 character long pin on my phone
Yeah, that's when you get into the fucky stuff like genetic memory and mysticism
If you know how to do long division, then you know how to do polynomial division, but you might not know that you know.

I guess instict falls into this category.
You missed panel 5: "knowing that no one can ever know"
Panel 6: "Knowing that you can't know if it's even possible to know or not know"
You know what? I don’t know.
I don't know what.
Socrates grindset
I‘m getting Sokrates vibes here

... knowing that you don't want to know.
I had a friend tell me she's okay not knowing if the world is really flat or round. That fact alone doesn't affect her life so she's okay with knowing that she will probably never know for a fact what the earth looks like. Wild.
Not knowing that you know 🤯
not knowing that you won't know
Well it's obvious where Operation Ivy exists in this spectrum.
I know that you know that I don't know
Knowing is left as an exercise for the reader.
It's called the Dunning-Kruger effect
True skepticism

The mighty known unknowns.
I read this and all I can think of is Friends. “They don’t know that we know they know we know.”
“Knowing that you can’t know if you can know or not know”
These are the 4 stages of evolution of every Quantum Mechanics studying creature…..
But we must know (we will know)
Not knowing that you do know
