In a parallel universe, the Kareem believed knowledge was evil. (AUDIO: The Library in the Body) As books contained all manner of knowledge, the Tenth Doctor considered them the greatest weapons in the world. (TV: Tooth and Claw) Knowledge could be gained through education, though it was not realistic to expect any one individual to know everything. As such, knowledge could also act as a commodity. (AUDIO: The Renaissance Man)

At one point in Earth history, during the Renaissance, it was entirely possible for one person to have the collected knowledge of humanity. Such people were exemplary of the Renaissance Man. In time, though, and indeed in the wider universe, it was more efficient for people to specialise, and develop an extensive breadth of understanding around a single topic. (AUDIO: The Renaissance Man)

The Thirteenth Doctor once claimed to have an understanding of "pretty much everything". (COMIC: A New Beginning)

Jephson wanted to gather all knowledge in the universe, doing so by draining it from the minds of visitors to the Morovanian Museum. This knowledge included historical, botanical and geographical information, as well as more practical knowledge, like Leela's hunting abilities. The Fourth Doctor defeated him by providing false knowledge, and inventing gaps in the data collected. (AUDIO: The Renaissance Man)
