The final prize of having lived a life of painful intellectual effort is abstraction. But abstraction will give you no recognition nor fame among the masses, specially when you share it with others.

Knowledge has its pros and cons, but it's almost always humbling. It's the tool for those that have authentic hope and faith

i am congenitally curious, so knowledge especially from impulsive experimentation is constantly being acquired... and in my business a high level of knowledge is required as is a reasonable amount of daring to experiment with something that seems like a better solution than what is already known

and knowledge is a one-way process, you can't go back to not knowing, so yeah, it often times is painful both in acquiring the knowledge or simply remembering it when something you see triggers associations

but i wouldn't choose another way, i like this process, and may i never stop so long as i am breating and living

I understand that. Knowledge was one of the few things that made me happy when I was a kid. It was difficult for me to keep the pace with my surrounding culture where knowledge is a second-class citizen

when knowledge is disapproved of you are living in a bad society, it is the number one proof of it

ignorance - the denial of facts - is my number one enemy, and those who cower underneath its cloak are worthless garbage
