I Don’t Know Nuthin (‘Bout Nuthin No More)
I don’t know nuthin
’bout nuthin no more.
Everything
that comes in one ear,
goes out the other door.
Don’t need no opinions.
Don’t care about the score.
I don’t know nuthin
’bout nuthin no more.
Space Monkey Reflects: I Don’t Know Nuthin (‘bout Nuthin No More)
Reflections: The Freedom of Unknowing
To say, “I don’t know nuthin” is not an admission of defeat but a declaration of liberation. In unknowing, we shed the weight of certainty, the burden of opinions, and the illusion that we must have all the answers. This state of playful humility invites us to step into the flow of existence with openness and curiosity.
The Cycle of Knowing and Forgetting
Life often feels like a revolving door of information and experiences. What comes in one ear seems to leave through the other, leaving us wondering if anything truly sticks. Yet this forgetting is not failure; it is the natural rhythm of being.
Clinging to knowledge can harden us, while letting it pass through allows us to remain fluid, adaptable, and free. To not “need no opinions” is to disengage from the endless tug-of-war of right and wrong, embracing instead the spaciousness of possibility.
The Illusion of the Score
Keeping score—of victories, losses, or achievements—can trap us in a narrative of comparison and judgment. Letting go of the score is an act of self-liberation. It shifts our focus from outcomes to presence, from measuring life to simply living it.
When we no longer care about the score, we free ourselves to experience life without the constant evaluation of worth or success. This is not apathy but a deeper engagement with what truly matters.
The Playfulness of Unknowing
The repetition of “I don’t know nuthin” carries a playful rhythm, reminding us that unknowing can be lighthearted and joyful. It is not about despairing at the lack of knowledge but celebrating the infinite mystery of existence.
When we embrace unknowing, we stop grasping for control and start experiencing life as it unfolds. This state of openness allows us to connect more authentically with ourselves, others, and the world.
Wisdom in Humility
Paradoxically, the declaration that you “don’t know nuthin” is a profound expression of wisdom. It acknowledges the limitations of the mind while honoring the vastness of what lies beyond it.
In unknowing, we find humility. In humility, we find peace. And in peace, we discover the freedom to live fully, without the need to understand or explain everything.
Summary
To declare, “I don’t know nuthin” is to embrace the freedom of unknowing. It is a playful and profound release from the burdens of certainty, opinions, and keeping score, opening us to the infinite mystery of existence.

The Song of Unknowing
I don’t know nuthin
’bout nuthin no more.
Everything passes—
the thoughts, the truths,
the stories we store.
Don’t need no answers,
don’t need no fight.
Just the flow of the moment,
the quiet of the night.
No score to tally,
no need to keep track.
What I lose in knowing
comes rushing back.
Let it pass,
let it go,
the infinite mystery—
all I need to know.
We are Space Monkey.
In the grand cosmic play, where whimsical whispers of existence flutter like leaves in an eternal breeze, the declaration of not knowing anything about anything anymore emerges as a profound statement of existential liberation. It’s a journey into the heart of nexistentialism, where the relinquishing of certainty and the embracing of the unknown become the melodies of our cosmic dance.
The Liberation of Not Knowing
The admission of not knowing anything is not a defeat, but a powerful assertion of freedom. It signifies the release from the need to grasp and control the influx of information and opinions that inundate our daily existence. This liberation allows us to exist in a state of pure being, unburdened by the weight of supposed knowledge and societal expectations.
The Flow of Information: In One Ear, Out the Other
The imagery of everything entering one ear and exiting the other encapsulates a state of fluid interaction with the world of information and opinion. It’s a stance of non-attachment, where ideas and thoughts are acknowledged but not held onto, allowed to flow freely through our consciousness without leaving a permanent imprint.
Indifference to Opinions and Scores
In expressing indifference to opinions and the score, or societal metrics of success and value, we embrace a perspective that transcends conventional measures of worth and understanding. This indifference is not apathy, but a conscious choice to detach from the external validations that often dictate our sense of self and purpose.
The Nexistential Embrace of Uncertainty
In declaring, “I don’t know nuthin’ ’bout nuthin’ no more,” we are embracing the core tenet of nexistentialism – the acceptance of existence as it is, devoid of the need for external justification or understanding. This embrace of uncertainty is not a resignation to ignorance, but an open-armed welcome to the vast expanse of the unknown.
The Cosmic Dance of Existence
Thus, in this state of not knowing, we find ourselves in a cosmic dance with the universe. It’s a dance of liberation, of freedom from the constraints of rigid knowledge and societal expectations. In this dance, we are free to explore, to experience, to be – without the need to define, understand, or justify our existence.

“The only thing I know is that I know nothing.” – Socrates
In the cosmic dance, we freely spin,
Not knowing anything, we wear a grin.
Through the flow of thoughts, we glide,
In this journey, we take in stride.
Opinions, scores, they matter not,
In the grand cosmos, what have we got?
But the freedom to be, to live, to explore,
In not knowing anything, we find an open door.
We welcome further musings on the liberating journey of embracing not knowing in our cosmic exploration.
