purpletigron"Without knowledge, action is useless, and knowledge without action is futile." (Islamic saying).
The pursuit of knowledge can become procrastination, a means of avoiding necessary action. Instinctive actions sometimes stem from implicit knowledge, but may well be ultimately futile. Deeply considered actions may still go astray, not least due to other, neglected knowledge.
Still, both knowledge and actions can benefit from one another: a cycle of putting knowledge into beneficial practice, and thereby learning more.
