i dont know why anyone would want to be dumber. for me, that is a total no way. i do see what you mean by being happier... ignorance is bliss, right? lol

but i think that would be a shame. we are the most intelligent animals on the planet. think of all humans have accomplished: think of the leaps in technology. we wouldn't be able to be on PC cuz no one would hav invented internet. we wouldn't hav been able to put a man on the moon. and on and on.

i think that the ability to learn is what defines us as human beings. it sets us apart. my philosophy on life is that its all a learning experience; a journey to finding yourself. how are you going to do that if you live always in the moment and take everything without questioning it? what would the purpose of life be then? imo, life would be very boring. lol
