I don't know!
I find I have no trouble unlearning things I need, and all sorts of trouble unlearning the ways I've oh so cleverly learned to trip myself.Are there things you wish you could unlearn?

Knowing more seems to make me more unhappy, though to be fair it's most likely my own view on the information.Does knowing more make you happier? Are there things you wish you could unlearn?

It depends, some things I would rather forget, but then some have been rather inspiring. It is pretty much a wash for me.Does knowing more make you happier? Are there things you wish you could unlearn?

Knowledge in work is power, knowledge in life can be detrimental!

If you consider the story of the expulsion from Eden you realize it's possibly an allegory regarding our species choice of sentience and subsequent loss of reflexively driven behavior. Behavior, without responsibility for the choice and, free from the questions surrounding intent.
We are capable of great good but to be that powerful we must be capable of great evil, the sword has to cut both ways. You can not be both powerful and safe. Once sentience is granted there is no going back and the more you educate yourself to be a tool to help people the more you consequently can harm them.
After I went into the B pillar I spent a year on my knees thanking god for taking that cup out of my hands. I will never again have to choose who lives and who dies and rend my garments soundlessly but with much gnashing of teeth over my impotence in the political storm that drives these choices in the morass of modern health care.
Thank you 420God, good question, tough to answer.
I can't like and I'm out of rep.
