Is knowing more things more beneficial or detrimental?
|
Unless you want the simple life of a farm cow knowledge is always more beneficial than a lack of knowledge. And even if you intend the Biblical route on this and will conclude the tree of knowledge brought only suffering then I'll counter with all the BS behind the creation and meaning of that story. 1

"Unless you want the simple life of a farm cow knowledge is always more beneficial than a lack of knowledge." That heavily depends on the knowledge in question. Take, for example, the knowledge required to create a pipe bomb: in what way is that beneficial to you or to anyone around you? "And even if you intend the Biblical route on this and will conclude the tree of knowledge brought only suffering" Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there are any Christians in existence who claim knowledge itself to be evil. Your unfair extrapolation (due to lack of context) from Genesis is unhelpful at best. "then I'll counter with all the BS behind the creation and meaning of that story." Please, do continue. This question will always be subjective and circumstantial... Like how I would want to know everything I possibly can about a guy that I like ... But wouldn't want to know who his favorite porn star is and how many times a week he looks her up. Sometimes, less knowledge is more. But of course, the more knowledge of something the more you can prepare. Some people may want to know when they die and others may not, each for subjective reasons. Maybe you can narrow this question to something more specific? Or clarify by what you mean by "knowing more (things?)" |
