Do you want to learn more than you already know, or do you think that you know enough?

Always want to learn more, and exposing yourself to new ideas and expieriences goes a long way to doing just that.

I like hearing that. And I'm hoping that we can all find shared values such as this to build on despite any political difference

As do I. Like any other muscle, the mind must be worked in order to grow. Respecting anothers positions and values is a must when trying to hear what they are saying. If you can't hear what they are saying you can't evaluate or assimulate the information they put out. This doesn't mean it will be sufficent to change opinions, but hopefully it will be enough to understand why someone thinks the way they do.

Learning is a humans best trait. Too bad many do not adhere to it.

God no. I know way too much. I need to forget tons of stuff. Do you realize how much pot I have to smoke just to come to USMB and talk to some of you people? It's costing me a small fortune!

Actually, I will always need to keep adding to my library of books on history, politics, literature and philosophy. It's a big world out there and the more you learn the more you understand how little you know, lol. That said, I'd also like to learn some new skills of the practical variety. For example things like, shooting and gun safety, rock climbing and automobile repair. (beyond changing a tire, battery or oil)

I just watch Fox they will teach me all I need to know.

 

[Anachronism]

In terms of my hobbies and interests, I'd definitely like to learn more. In terms of my political viewpoints or in relation to my job/career.... No Thanks, I'm good.

Since the creation of man 5000 years ago, we've learned much.

Then clearly you aren't learning anything fromt hem.

Something I learned today that I didn't realize is that though we may take telling time for granted, we are only able to because brilliant minds worked thousands of years to get us to this point.

Amazing how 4 people can all read the same article and all "learn" different things from it.

Yes, it certainly is. But that doesn't mean we learn anything from it.

The crazies claim 6000 years, if you are going to parody them at least get the dates right.

 

[editec]

I've been studying the same basic thing my whole life.

Social science.

Of late (roughly the last two decades) my focus has been on economics and social psychology.

I figure if I study really hard for the next four or five centuries, I might actually start to get a handle on how things really work.

I always want to learn more. That's why I go to message boards.

I'm sure I'll learn something eventually.
