Acharya Prashant clarifies that dropping knowledge is not about forgetting information but about dropping the feeling that "I already know what is best for me." He explains that knowledge essentially assumes certainty. When one claims to know something, they are asserting that they are capable of certainty. Therefore, to drop knowledge is to drop the confidence that you, as you are, can know. This means dropping the certainty you have towards yourself and gaining the humility to admit that you do not truly know yourself, the most fundamental entity. Since all knowledge is held by "you," if you do not know yourself, any knowledge you possess is unreliable. The statement "I know" is preceded by the implicit assertion "I can know." However, the speaker questions this, pointing out that the human self, being prone to bias and prejudice, is incapable of true knowing. Therefore, the claim "I know" is a false assertion. Unloading knowledge means dropping this pretense. It is not that the one who unloads knowledge has no knowledge; rather, they know themselves. He uses the analogy of a second-grade student claiming to know calculus; the issue is not whether they know it, but that being who they are, they *cannot* know it. This realization leads to a difficult position for the ego, which requires faith. The ego can either blindly trust its own biological and intellectual apparatus or use that very apparatus to examine its own limitations. This examination leads to the realization: "If I am not to be trusted, who do I place my trust on?" Faith is about admitting your own falseness and insufficiency without having an objective, knowable Truth to replace it with. It is the courageous acceptance of the state where "I am false, and the Truth is unknowable," leaving one with nothing to hold onto.
