Intellectual disability.

I went to school with a challenged girl with a photographic memory, she could remember everything she read/saw but didn't know how to use/process the information she learned.

She was knowledgeable but not smart. I think the two are often confused.

I do like knowing and being informed but the older I get the less I think I want to know.

That's the way I've been feeling lately. I try and avoid the news/tv and just focus on my life.

I don't want anymore added stress, especially about things I have no control over.

LIKE.

Fo sure how I've been feeling.

It depends on how I look at it.

The act of learning is very pleasurable to me overall, but I sometimes feel like every additional thing I learn is just another part of my (and mankind's) fall from grace.

I wish there were things that I felt like I didn't need to know, but like Annie said, there's no way back.

An example stands out in my mind... A 1970s Jane Goodall National Geographic article on chimpanzees, one of several. But this one stood out because of its horribleness. It was full of infanticide and cannibalism. It wasn't the chimpanzees that bothered me so much as the reflections it cast of humans. I am glad to know it, but knowing it fills me with sorrow.

A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.

So foreign to me to not want to know things. I'm really surprised by the ostrich answers. Baldrick, I appreciate the example. I understand not wanting to know certain things I guess. I don't read the crime section on the Huff Post for example. However I wouldn't want to not know the atrocities that humans are capable of, seems to me that makes me appreciate the love in my life more and to be more aware of how I raise my own children.

I couldnt read the book 'The Trail of Tears'. I know what happens, I'm not ignorant to it, I'm glad that I know it. I couldn't read the whole book for I turned into a sobbing baby. That doesn't make me wish I were ignorant of such a painful thing.

Knowledge in the workplace as power above ones personal life shows a short coming in our existence. I will not be defined by my career. I would rather have knowledge and power in my personal life which is a reflection of who I truly am as a person and not the man I am at work.

Just my Friday morning thoughts over a cup of coffee while sesame street plays in the backround. Good Morning Er'body.
