the relationship between listening and knowledge.?

It's imperative! How do you gain knowledge if you don't listen and learn from others? To stop and open your mind to all that others are saying, writing and doing is showing your thirst for knowledge.........your willingness to grow yourself. The most ignorant people I seem to encounter are the ones that seem to interrupt me mid sentence to give their take on a situation.......their opinion being the primary message they want to convey to me. Instead they show me they can't listen and therefor have not considered all sides of an issue and as a result do not have the knowledge it takes to form a rational opinion. Thank you for asking this. I enjoyed the thoughts!

Although I think it is very important to be informed on a variety of topics, I am a firm believer that ignorance is bliss... Fill your mind with good and useful things, and things that interest you... but everything could get a little overwhelming, don't you think!

Eliminate other distractions.  Close your eyes, or at least look only at the person speaking.  As the person you are listening to makes a point, see if you can restate that point another way.  If you are talking about communication between 2 people, the listener can ask the other person a summary question "So what I hear you saying is...".  If you are talking about the listening skills needed in a classroom situation, try and creat an outline based on the major points that the speaker is trying to communicate to you.  By definition, a true discussion cannot usually involve more than 5 people because everyone must participate, not only in listening, but also in stating their own opinions.  However, in a true discussion, you are not supposed to be slavishly devoted to your own opinion either.  You should enter into a discussion with a firm understanding of your own beliefs and perspectives, but also be willing to abandon yours and adopt those of a fellow discussion member.  Hope that helps some.

Wisdom is much more complicated than knowledge. Knowledge is merely an understanding of the nature of things but wisdom involves a vast array of character attributes that predispose to prudent behavior.

Add knowledge. Subtract ignorance.

by learned,i assume you mean people with an education and maybe high IQs (intelligence quotient). this often has no correlation with EQ (emotional quotient) which governs how well you interact with people.

Read. Read as much as you can about anything and everything and it will manifest in your communicational skills, and it will also give you a broader range of knowledge.\n(I'm nowhere near excellent, but reading has improved me quite a bit).

Being able to speak to animals. Because there are some people who can learn really fast (maybe not that fast, but fast enough..:P) and none that can actually speak with animals. \nIn the end, how much knowledge can a person absorb? Could my brain handle it?? \nIf I could send a fly to hear what other people talk, or learn about secret plans, SPY, know the subjects to all exams.. wouldn't it be so totally cool? :))

There are different ways of learning for different people. Visual learners need to see things like pictures, auditory learners need to be told by someone. There's a couple more but I'm not sure what their called. I know there's a hands on learner...that's me...I need to do something to learn it, and then there's the people that learn well from books. It just depends on the way you retain information.

Most people know that the best way to check that we understand something is to be able to explain it to others. \n\nConsider the lessons for us in the following: \n\nWe learn: \n10% of what we read \n20% of what we hear \n30% of what we see \n50% of what we both see and hear \n70% of what is discussed with others \n80% of what we experience personally \n90% of what we TEACH to someone else \nHow do YOU learn/revise? How could you do it better?\n\nWhen you are trying to remember important words or ideas, it helps tremendously to develop brain"hooks" as an aid. These are visual pictures or kinaesthetic memories which link to the word. It doesn't matter how logical, or how ridiculous these are, they can be a great aid to learning.\n\n"Memory men" are well used to using hooks when learning lists of names. eg "Shakespeare"  can conjure up quite an amusing picture which can act as a hook to the name.\n\nTry standing on one leg and tapping your head while you say a difficult to remember name out loud. The chances are that if you carry out the same action a week later, the word will spring into your mind.\n\nRhymes and pnemonics can also be very useful.Most of us remember "Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain" for the colours of the spectrum.\n\nWe are not all the same type of learner. Learning types can be simply divided into Visual (learn best by "seeing"), Auditory (learn best by "hearing" or Kinaesthetic (learn best by "doing"). We may learn better using one, or a combination of these types of learning.

Listening is the most important part of a conversation.  It appears that you have been doing that.  If the person you are communicating with seems to know a lot about everything, you need to direct the conversations toward some topics you know most about. Keep yourself informed about current events and topics you and your friend find interesting.  If a "good conversationalist" talks all of the time and never listens, then he is NOT a good conversationalist.  He is then, a "know-it-all", lacking in listening skills and in consideration for others.

It depends on the person - some people learn better from things they hear than from what they read, while others don't.\n\nThe important thing to consider is whether there are things in the book - illustrations, diagrams, equations - that would be helpful but would be left out of an audio version. Also, many audiobooks are abridged, so there may simply be less material in the audiobook version.\n\nOn the other hand, some books - like Richard Feynman's lectures - are better when you listen to the original audio than when you read the transcribed book.
