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.

    I completely diagree, the conscious part of the universe is the most important. We also have a terrible responsibility to guard it. We can’t give ourselves up to personal satisfaction or serenity while most of humanity suffers. It’s gleaming light completely overshadowed by pain.

      You make a very good point.

      However, some people would say despite the great suffering that some of us go through that ultimately, nothing matters. No matter the triumphs of humanity, a meteor could wipe it all out and there would be but a trace that we ever even existed.

      Your point also implies that we have freewill, whereas others would suggest that we only have what appears to be freewill. Whether you help those in need or you don’t, your path is set.
