omg... dun remind me of my philo module last sem.... i nearly had to do an essay on that, but i chose the other one instead. my friend did this though, and she showed me. and i was like o.O totally worshipped her afterwards. but ok lah, after she read my essay she also got worship me. lolz...Originally posted by alexkusu:the problem is to show how we can have any knowledge of the world at all. The conclusion that we cannot, that no one knows anything about the world around us, is what I call 'scepticism about the external world', so we could also say that the problem is to show how or why scepticism about the external world is not correct ... I believe the problem has no solution; or rather that the only answer to the question as it is meant to be understood is that we can know nothing about the world around us.. -

The temporal bliss?Originally posted by rainee:

Pardon my ignorance, but whats your question? Who is classified as stupid? Well, with regards to my earlier remark made in jest, the person in question would be me. As a 'stupid me' from yesterday would have put it, knowledge is like a double edged sword: cuts both ways.Originally posted by M©+square:Well.

Knowledge dosent necessarily leads to happiness in one's life. Ignorance may not be bliss, but it usually dosent keep anyone away from it. A good thing one might say, for those less gifted in the intellectual department.
Now, as you dissect and pour over what I said, I shall leave you with a poem by Thomas Gray, entitled Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College.
"Yet ah! why should they know their fate?
Since sorrow never comes too late,
And happiness too swiftly flies.
Thought would destroy their paradise.
No more; where ignorance is bliss,
'Tis folly to be wise." -

My question was - are stupid people ignorant?Originally posted by M©+square:ignorance = stupid people = blissful
Don't like that leh.
If Yes.
Then Ignorant people are stupid.
If no. I'm interested how you derived to this statement mentioned below.
2) Thank you for clarifying.Originally posted by alexkusu:stupid people are the happiest
3) Everything is like a double edged sword; cuts either ways.
Not only knowledge.
4) Thank you for Mr Gray's poem.
So let's go back to the question 1).

ah...ignorant and stupid seems similar, but has different meanings..but if it makes you happier to say ignorant people are happy, then so be it

to be informal - similar, to be formal - different tone and weight.Originally posted by alexkusu:ah...ignorant and stupid seems similar, but has different meanings..but if it makes you happier to say ignorant people are happy, then so be it

No offence taken. After i know where you're coming from.Originally posted by alexkusu:ah..i didnt use the word stupid as an insult..if that what you are getting at..no offense meant yeah
But have you realise Stupid is often, if not all the time used as a Negetive adj? In fact, i would weigh 'Stupid' far worse compared to 'ignorant'
What's your view? -
