Knowledge or Ignorance

[warpus]

So how come everyone is too cowardly and educated stupid to take a strong pro-ignorance stance?

I mean, I'm not anti-knowledge or anything, just pro-ignorance . . .

I am ignorant of your igorance.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Just because power corrupts doesn't mean power = corruption.

That said, I'd choose ignorance in a heartbeat.

Iesu Christi! Did anyone read my other post?

 

[Japanrocks12]

The Bliss that you lose from ignorance is soon replaced.. by the avenues that open up from possessing knowledge

 

[b etor]

knowledge is power.

 

[nivi]

Blue pill for me, please.

 

[Catharsis]

Iesu Christi! Did anyone read my other post?

Pah. Fine.

Knowledge = power
Power = corruption
Corruption = evil
Women = evil
Women = happiness
Happiness = bliss
Ignorance = bliss
=> Knowledge = Ignorance
QED.

 

[Fugitive Sisyphus]

Pah. Fine.

Knowledge = power
Power = corruption
Corruption = evil

money = evil
Women = money

Women = happiness
Happiness = bliss
Ignorance = bliss
=> Knowledge = Ignorance
QED.

You forgot a step.

 

[Catharsis]

Well, I thought that step was obvious to everyone.

 

[CaptainF]

Knowledge doesn't mean unhappiness.

Ergo, I choose knowledge.

 

[Eukaryote]

Ignorance is only bliss, until the day when a certain lack of knowledge catches up to you and punches you in the face - hard. Then the bliss ends.

E.g., the lack of nutritional knowledge leads you to eat nothing but candy and cupcakes. Then one day you die of diabetes. [/bliss]

QFT.

With knowladge we have power and can make things better and acheive our dreams. Ignorance may lead you to misery and an early, lonley death.

 

[The Yankee]

Used to be, what you didn't know can't hurt you. Now what you don't know can get you killed. (Yes, I know you nitpickers will bring up diseases and some such.)

So, I'll bear the burden of knowledge if at all possible.

 

[Tee Kay]

Both sentences are true. (Ignorance is Bliss. Knowledge is Power.)

Personally though, I prefer knowledge.

 

[civverguy]

I choose knowledge because I need it right now.

 

[Angst]

Sadly, ignorant people gets easier to the chicks, because they know what to say. It's a weird world.

 

[drachasor]

I think the pro-ignorance people don't know what they are talking about. Which rather nicely explains their choice.

 

[Eukaryote]

QFBS. Knowing what to say, do, and how it works is a form of knowladge. Being ignorant has nothing to do with getting girls.

 

[Angst]

I meant that some smart people just thinks too much.

 

[El_Machinae]

If everyone is so pro-knowledge, then why do people spend so much time being blissfully ignorant and even actively ignorant?

Next time you're watching Prime Time TV, remember how you voted in this poll. And then read a book!

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

Well, I don't have a TV (I only miss it, right now, for college football) and I do read a lot.

 

[aronnax]

Ignorance is the bane of human life. For being a fool is no excuse for bliss. To be a dumb uneducated loser is the worst punishment a person can get. We have about 300 million of them on earth. Jk
