Ok a bit off the wall here...
They say knowledge is power...then
is ignorance really bliss??
would you rather know everything there is to know, no matter how good or bad it might be??
Or live in a dream world were nothing is what you think?
hmmm...starting to sound like a trailor for The Matrix.
Anyway...which would you choose?
If you think too much (like I do) you have more worries - the ignorant idiot doesn't care, so he's the lucky one (but not what I would want to choose)
It's fine to think too much - but the trick is to learn not to dwell on it.
I sometimes start thinking of all the little children living in appalling conditions and ... no STOP IT Noo - you will upset yourself!
As much as I would like to, I can't make everything better. I just try to do my bit.
And if life is a dream, who dreams the dreamer???
someone needs to get more sleepQuote:

give me the red pill
You just blew my mind dude.
Go ask Alice...I think she'll know.
Too heavy for my brain....I fall somewhere in between....the more ignorant I am though....the less worries...so, sometimes, that is good!
I thought soQuote:

;) :D
I'm ignorant and happy when drunk. Is that what the old saying refers to?
The chicken does. Many people will think it's the egg, but they'd be wrong.Quote:

If you were to have ultimate knowledge no one could possibly be your equal and you would wind up being alone all your life.
I'll stick with being normal... well mostly
I just want to know enough of everything to be dangerous.
I do know everything, I just can't remember it all at once. :)

I've already forgotten more than I'll ever know.
I want all the knowledge power and fame I can possibley get. who is number 1? I AM. the key to havening all the knowledge and power is not to let the right peeple know how much you know and to tell the other people that you know more than you really do.
That's not the part that boggles the brain, this is.
Reality is a perception.
If you were omnipotent, your perceptions would change.
So, if you knew everything, your reality would actually be different than it is now.
What would be "real" to you then?
I think way tooo tooo too much .. hell small things piss me off .. but when thats all youve got .. why not ..
hardest part is when i look in the mirror the guy asks me if on holloween the tricker Treaters give me candy for my looks .
thats alot .. urr nothing to think about ..
My guess would be...anything you want to be real.Quote:

Not "want it to be" but percieve it to be. Who knows what a person who knows everything percieves as reality?
Can one create an entire world just by percieving that world to be real? If one HONESTLY percieves a world to exist, does it not exist at least in thier reality?
Is this all we are? Are we just a perception of someone who is absolutly CONVINCED that we exist outside of their mind?
All of these things must be at least plausible is reality is INDEED a perception.
(I don't get much sleep :D )
If that's the case Fool ( lol I feel like I'm insulting you) then Sowulo's phrase above make all the more sense.Quote:

Neti, neti (Not this, Not that)
I dwell within a reality
Which is everything,
And dream an illusion,
Which is nothing.
However . . .
If ‘nothing’ can exist in awareness
As a comphrehensible possibility,
Then in fact it must be something;
And, if that something
Which is nothing
Exists without form,
Then that nothing
Which is something
Must exist
With neither edge nor boundary.
Therefore it may be shown
That that nothing
Which neither can be differentiated
Nor separated from any other nothing
Might in fact,
Only unveil itself within awareness
As Everything.
I dream a reality
Which is nothing,
And dwell within an illusion
Which is everything.
I like pull the wings off insects. I can play god...and turn a fly...into a walk.
I think
a good swift kick in the @ss will wake some of you guys/gals up from your day dreaming "perceptions". j/k :D

All hail King Cobra!!!
Let's see... Knowledge=Power, and Ignorance=Bliss.
Let's say Ignorance=Knowledge*(-1).
Therefore Unhappiness=Knowledge.
We already established in another thread, using the formula for Work and the supposition that Time=Money that the more Knowledge you have, the less Money you will have.
Therefore, the more Power you have, the more unhappy you are.
This seems wrong, so I will multiply Time by .5, giving me two half-times.
Half-time equals a bunch of successful commercials.
Commercial success equals Money.
Money=Power.
Therefore Power=(Time/2).
Am I getting any closer to the ultimate answer here?
The people who think they know everything only upsets the people who actually do. I prefer to know the truth, hell, I have already been in a mental ward twice for knowing too much.
if you pull the legs of as well does it make it a slither or a currant? :confused:Quote:
