October 23, 200916 yr You can't properly put you intelligence to use if you don't have imagination, and you can't live on imagination either. I don't know if you're right, IMO both are important. Maybe I place too much value on intelligence.
October 23, 200916 yr Author For every thing you learn, you realize there are ten more things you don't know. If anything, knowledge increases wonder. Learning is addictive. :nice: My position. The universe is so much more interesting when you consider the fact that WE, no more than insignifigant specks, have managed to prove or nearly prove that it's made up of almost incomprehemsibly tiny bits of matter and is mind-blowingly huge, and all of the things we have learned. I don't get people who say that knowledge decreases natural wonder, for me it's exactly the opposite.
October 24, 200916 yr No. The more you learn the more you realise how ignOrant you are Thank You Socrates. Falls back to the age old eodipus question of knowledge-happiness. I like to apply Kierkegaard's outlook on despair, in that, in realizing we're in despair, we know we've always been in despair. But with understanding, we realize that truth is preferable and more virtuous than ignorance, even though it may be painful in some circumstances. One whose enlightened is, in most case, rendered intellectually incapable of crawling back into the cave. And just because we don't know or realize we're in despair, doesn't mean we aren't in a pitiful mode of existence.
