The pursuit of pleasure vs the pursuit of intelligence
#2
RE: The pursuit of pleasure vs the pursuit of intelligence
Hello Mozart,

Most depressed people have emotional numbness to some extent. I will not try to tell you how to cure yourself. But, I do assure you that there is such a thing as intellectual pleasure. Pleasure versus intellect is a false dichotomy.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
