Measure

To MEASURE, is to compare (what you know) to (what you want to know). You need to know something first in order to compare it with something else. The only thing you can know first had is yourself. This is why they say to "know yourself" so you can measure / compare the rest of reality and make good choices on a conscious level. You are the literal "ruler" by which everything else you learn is measured with.

If you want to know how everything that exists works you must first know yourself as completely as you can. The more you know yourself and how you work the more you can know anything and everything else.

Measuring Units In Folklore And History:
In the biblical story of Noah, the ark was supposed to be 300 cubits long and 30 cubits high. Like all early units of size, the cubit was based on the always-handy human body, and was most likely the length of a man's forearm from elbow to fingertip. You could measure a board, for example, by laying your forearm down successively along its length. In the Middle Ages, the inch is reputed to have been the length of a medieval king's first thumb joint. The yard was once defined as the distance between the nose of England's King Henry I and the tip of his outstretched middle finger. The origin of the foot as a unit of measurement is obvious.

If you wanted to measure the Irish guy's dick size, he'd come up short every time, and he'd know he was always an asshole with a short dick no matter how many different times or ways you tried to tell him that, but if you wanted to measure what he was made of, that was different.
