I had a friend tell me once that we would be better off without knowledge. I will admit this angered me, my initial reaction was speechlessness. Then my response was of course to attempt to reason with them. Then it hit me, you cannot use logic against a person who does not see things from a logical point of view. That is the same as trying to teach a blind person to draw or a deaf person to dance. You can not share knowledge with a person who does not seek it or does not value it.
That however caused me examine people around me and even the things I saw on television. And it made me think, this one person is not an anomaly; we as a country have lost touch with intellect, logic and reason. Instead we have reverted back to archaic ways of our ancestors and clinging to mysticism and spirituality, instead of utilizing modern thinking mechanisms simple reasoning, logic and common sense. It actually amazes me that people trust charlatans and swindlers who are only out to manipulate you out of your money.
