I would rather know a little, honestly. Because what pisses me off about information today is that I don’t really know who’s value I am to take and even be skeptical towards. So I’d rather know little.

    If we don’t learn, then WTF are we doing with ourselves. The human existence is the pursuit of knowledge. The only depressing thing here, IMO, is the idea that living out a life as grazing cattle, concerned with nothing more than gorging oneself with the next meal is the only reason to live.

    Comfortable? Sure. Self-actualized? Not a chance. There’s more to life than living out only the most basic biological needs.

      To you, learning is obviously a major drive in your life. To others, it’s the exact opposite.

        And its not like you can only learn by watching the news 🙈

        I learn plenty of things all day long. Just not from the news.
