I don't really see the connection. Just to bring it to my level, can you convince me that in the long run I'll be happier if I drop out of college?

To be happy you have to do something, that alters something else and far enough down the line you'll cause suffering.

I can't, nor do I know enough about you make an argument if I could. The ability to think intelligently isn't what results in suffering, it's the ability to think at all.

I believe knowledge is very much a curse. If you are unaware, then you're blissfully living in oblivion. Adam and Eve were unknowledgable when first created, and were happy that way. Once given knowledge, hardship began. If you look at it from a Christian perspective, just an example, God did not mean for humans to contain knowledge. When they gained it they were punished for it. From a Christian perspective I believe God very much meant knowledge to be a curse on humans, punishment.

So by using technology you're perpetuating the curse . . .

He could taste it. He just lamented that he couldn't in the real world.
