I have to say that I am a skeptic. I am a philosophical skeptic, and this is why the philosophy essay I wrote last week was such a good essay to write, and why I enjoyed every moment.
I think maybe the fact that the majority of people are blind is not such a bad thing. In most cases a bit of extra knowledge, the kind that challenges your whole idea of life and reality can drive you completely insane. Then what insane is I don't know. I think being insane is far better than not being insane. And I think the ability to sit and ponder on ideas and make up your own mind about them is the best way forward. Not believing what you are told, but yet believing what is true to you works in a much better way!!
Looking for knowledge though should be done with caution. Sometimes these quests will take hold of you, as it has done me, and you'll never be the same again.
I found this video today, and it's very very interesting. I've only watched up to about 40 mins in so far, and plan to watch the rest in a short while, but wow. What these people have tried to find out, and what it has done to them....I think it takes a very brave kind of person to attempt to find this out....and as such....I admire anyone who sets themselves along a path of discovery, and continues along it until the bitter end.
