    Do you want to learn?

Yep.

    Why?

Two main reasons:

1. Knowledge really is power, and to be brutally honest, I enjoy power as much as the next man. I'd like to think that my acquisition of knowledge qualifies me to wield power, but that's not necessarily true. Being a leader isn't just about intelligence, but I digress...

2. I believe that intelligence is a responsibility that we should all levy on ourselves if we truly wish to realize our true potential, both individually and collectively. Why should I have the ability to vote if I don't understand the issues at hand?

Although I don't share the fear you speak of, I sympathize with your disdain of the evils of ignorance.

May you always thirst for knowledge, my friend.

Cheers!
