Not all that men may call “knowledge” is to be sought, because philosophies and views exist that are “falsely called ‘knowledge.’” (1Ti 6:20) “For an abundance of wisdom brings an abundance of frustration, so that whoever increases knowledge increases pain.” (Ecclesiastes 1:18) Such as when filling your mind with the wrong type of knowledge, that which is “falsely called ‘knowledge.’”

Correction: obviously, if something is falsely called "knowledge", then it's not any type of knowledge. What I could have said was:

Such as when filling your mind with the wrong type of knowledge or that which is “falsely called ‘knowledge.’”

And with the wrong type of knowledge I was speaking about what is elaborated on in the article about "‘Knowledge That Increases Pain’—to Be Avoided?"

It is one’s increasing in human or mundane knowledge that can increase pain.
