The worst thing about wanting to know everything is that the more you know, you more start to comprehend that you actually know nothing.

[-] SeducingCamel@lemm.ee 41 points 11 months ago

Or the more you know the worse and worse the world seems and your only gift for that knowledge is pain

[-] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

The funny part about that is you eventually come back around.

The vast majority of humanity is doing their part. Most in small ways and few in ways that change the world every day.

Humanity will always prevail with the general masses benefiting no matter how many scummy people try to exploit us, the earth, and eventually other solar bodies.

Capitalism is the mid point between Feudalism and Socialism.

[-] Coasting0942@reddthat.com 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Feudalism: God picks the king. Or the king picks the king.

Socialism: There are no kings, but the central committee, led by the director, who picks the next director.

Capitalism: spin now and you might be lucky enough to be a king, anybody could be the king! terms and conditions apply

[-] MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

We have to be lucky every time. The scummy people only have to be lucky once.

[-] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Lucky about what? Not sending them to the guillotine whenever we feel like it?

[-] HowdWeGetHereAnyways@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Alternatively, we will go extinct having never left this solar body because of the long standing history of scummy people that would rather make profit now than address climate change

Depends on what you're knowing. The world only starts to look worse and worse when you learn more about geopolitics and climate change. I've never had new knowledge about orbital mechanics or lockpicking or 3d printing give me a negative outlook on life

[-] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Lockpicking made me realise my patience is shite. :(

[-] Nommer@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago

Ignorance is bliss

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

That’s been my problem.

When I was young I thought, “Man, I’m intelligent and I’m surrounded by idiots. I want to learn. They don’t.

Now, I’m just an idiot among idiots.

[-] profdc9@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Speak for yourself. I'm a SPECIAL, UNIQUE idiot among idiots.

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Nope. Just an ape like the rest of us. :p

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Same, also that was very nicely said. You're an eloquent idiot in my book 👍

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

That's when you turn to memes.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

Not sure that's the worst thing. The humility that brings is one of the most profound discoveries someone can make imo. You can almost feel it in people of high intellect that have tried to know everything about almost anything. Realizing this allows you to recognize that arrogance always equals ignorance.
