Complete ignorance gives you mud huts and a nasty, brutish existence which leaves very, very little time for fun. On ignorance, I've thought of a path forward in how to learn more about it. I'm going to take up the study of theology. Well, I am, as of now. But Kant's thoughts actually shook my agnosticism quite a bit, and I suddenly feel ignorant about things every schoolboy a hundred years ago was quite familiar with.
Intelligent people devote their lives to it.
Well, I don't know about that, but I guess I do know a lot of people I'd consider pretty intelligent who go to church and pray sometimes. And Kant showed, again, that in order for their to be ultimate meaning, love, morality, a right and wrong, there must be a God. I'm not completely sure I agree with him, but I can no longer simply sit on my agnosticism and be intellectually honest. I brought this up. Oh, well, scientists become infuriated with Theology because it puts some understanding beyond their grasp.
