I kind of hate this image. Its like a way to discredit all the learning done in the formative elementary/high school years. If I would guess, 60-70% of everything I have learned was in high school and thats with me having several published papers.

To be fair, most of "all human knowledge" is stuff like when the last time was that each person on the planet pooped.

I would read that paper.

Go make your little bump in the circle of human knowledge then!

I made a little brown bump.

For your paper, I'm pooping right now. You can add that to your data points

Nobody knows when I pooped last. It was some time today, but I don't remember when, and no one else ever knew.

You only THINK we don't know

Why do you think it discredis it?

Right, but the image says it’s a small part of all of human knowledge.
