The Dao De Ching is a spiritual text not a worldly one. It doesn't refer to worldly knowledge. To apply worldly ideas and ideas to spiritual concepts is just plain wrong, useless, misleading, giving wrong results.
Worldly aspects must be evaluated with worldly means, resulting in knowing as it is commonly understood. Spiritual aspects must be approached in a spiritual way which often results in unknowing. This is an unknowing of a different kind to worldly ignorance which every person, including spiritual ones, would consider to be a handicap for living.
