Choice 1: Learn real stuff

Pros: It helps inform your decisions to make the most sensible ones for yourself and those around you. It puts you in a position to help others with useful, correct information. You can even contribute towards the progression of science and technology. Your children will have you as a reliable, useful guide in their journey. You are less likely to be conned by people spinning tall tales. You can get a better job. You can make full use of your brain, and feel the satisfaction of coming to a good understanding of the world around you.

Cons: It's difficult and time consuming. You must be comfortable with the boundaries of current knowledge.

Choice 2: Make stuff up / believe stuff other people made up

Pros: It's extremely fast. It requires no understanding of anything, no training, no testing, and if you encounter a problem you can just make more stuff up until you're satisfied you have it covered. You can "answer" every question.

Cons: Your stuff is not based on reality. It will contain much which is either demonstrably wrong, or else unfalsifiable and therefor useless. It is worse than not knowing, because it can cause you to make poorer decisions than having no information. Since you fool yourself into thinking you have valid answers to everything, you have less incentive to actually learn anything real or useful. You will possibly confuse and misguide others, including your children. By using garbled thinking, you surrender your intellectual integrity, use litte introspection and will likely be completely unaware of just how broken your "answers" are.
