minus-square@AllonzeeLV@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink45•edit-22 months agoCypher was factually correct in acknowledging that knowledge is pain. Cypher was ethically wrong choosing willful ignorance because he made it other people’s problem. I prefer the pain of truth to the bliss of ignorance. It is the source of meaning I have chosen in life. The strong stare the ugly truth in the face without hope or expectation, the weak wake up in their bed and believe… whatever they want to believe. The propagation of pleasant willful ignorance is the main mechanism allowing most of our global crises to proceed.
