Are you an idiot if you don't know everything?

Answer 1

No, idiocy has nothing to do with knowledge, but rather indicates a fundamental lack of reasoning ability. An idiot may well be very knowledgeable in many areas, but does not have the intelligence to apply that knowledge appropriately.

Indeed, since it is impossible for any one person to "know everything" it is perfectly normal for people not to "know everything" and this should not be considered a detrimental personality trait at all.

Summing up, anyone who shows an enormous lack of knowledge or inability to retain knowledge would be more correctly referred to as an "ignoramus."

Answer 2

No, it is not a sign of being an idiot if you don't know everything. No one knows everything, and it is perfectly normal to have areas where we lack knowledge or expertise. Learning is a lifelong process, and it is okay to ask questions and seek information to expand our knowledge.
