Can you tell me which science schools you believe are the greatest generators of ignorance?
How/in what way does religion create meaningful adventure?
I'm wondering if discussions of your gods existence is only non fruit bearing for you.
I mean the obligatory school system. Putting students who want to study and those who don't into one room.
The idea of specialisation according to which one becomes good at one field of study - is described by Adam Smith (in the Wealth of Nations) as causing a human being to become as stupid as is possible. It's somewhere in the middle of the book.
The problem is that one needs to understand many specialisations to be able to build a view on how they interact with each other.
The adventure is in generating meaning. Even if it is an illusion it does not matter. The same thing goes for a dog, even if each owner knew that the dog only cares for the food and does not give a **** about the owner itself it would not matter. Similarly here. It does not matter what is really real, since we are striving for an emotional occurence. It does not matter why I feel bliss, it is in itself a good enough reason to do something.
The fruits are usually bad, because we are not being thought the basic tools necessary to use a language. Rhetoric, logic and grammar. People tend to believe that the world is progressing, but in reality it is regressing. Its like the difference between a wasp and an ant. Its the same family at a different stage of evolution. From the perspective of the hive the ant is more evolved, but I myself would prefer to be a wasp. Same here, we might think that we are evolving but humans in the past had a much broader spectrum of abilities than we have today (I mean regarding those of mind)
