It can be argued that there is an optimal level of intelligence.

"...I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit. For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow."
-- from Ecclesiastes 1:17-18

The sin said to have caused the fall of all creation was when the first people ate from a tree of knowledge.

Try as I might, I consider whether it is preferable to accomplish things by faith or artificial means.

It is really more of a curse to care, not merely 'be intelligent.' To care is really what is behind 'intelligence.' It is a curse but only when stupidity is reinforced in the society in which you live. The Cretans had flushing toilets ~800 years before 'urbs conditus erat.' And they used homosexuality to prevent large numbers of idiots from being born. The same can be said about the Corinthians... And the ancient Celtic men preferred to have sex with men, even finding it insulting if you wouldn't sleep with them when they offered. I'd say more, but nobody really cares. lol

W/e

We all die. Even people made into Gods are forgotten. And it is arguably worse to be remembered, only for your name to be transformed in accordance with the disturbia. No, not Rihanna. I mean the Latin word disturbia.

oh and your body will rot but the actions of the body ripple out

The only stupid thing is stop asking questions..

Quelling curiosity..

If your curious you have something to live for in eternity!

So, the pursuit of knowledge.

Quote:

Forbidden Planet
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbidden_Planet

Morbius appears and tells Adams and Ostrow that he has been studying artifacts of the Krell, a highly advanced race that perished overnight 200,000 years before. One such device enhances the intellect, which Morbius had used. He barely survived, but his intellectual capacity had doubled. Another is a vast 20 miles (32 km) square underground machine, still functioning, powered by 9,200 thermonuclear reactors, operating "in tandem". Adams tells Morbius he must share these discoveries with Earth. Morbius refuses, saying "humanity is not yet ready to receive such limitless power".




What if the universe manifests whatever you want.

What if all you want is the journey or the pursuit of knowledge.

Instead of instant gratification or a reward for nothing.

The fictional machine just takes what you are already doing and amplifies it to logical extremism.

Wouldn't it be ironic, if people who like to solve puzzles become puzzled, and people who like to cipher arrive at some irrational number that goes on forever, and people who like to dissemble become dissembled, and people who like to work become burdened, and people who like to boss have to "herd cats", and the right fighters have to keep at it, forever.

And, people who want instant gratification are objective and literal and get what they want, as a matter of faith that the issue is already settled. A self realized person might engage in hedonism with no purpose of self-discovery or any other ulterior motive, with which we are typically so preoccupied, in our thought lives.
