It is my
opinion that any
information is good
information, and there are absolutely no
circumstances under which
one is in a better situation when not posessing a specific
piece of information than when one does have that info. Of course, I'm
optimistically idealistic, and tend to listen when i'm told that a certain
philosophy of mine is
inapplicable in the
real world.
I'm not
speaking of the
Man who knew too much-kind of scenario - in that case, another
person is aware of the fact of your
possession of the said information. For the sake of the argument I'm
talking about a
real life situation where certain information will leave you in a situation that is worse than the situation you were in before.
My viewpoint is, probably affected by the fact that my
young and
impressionable mind is as yet untainted by the heavy
realities of life, and, being influenced by the
freedom-mongering censorship-
bashing crowd on
Slashdot I'm of a mistakenly
conceited opinion that my ability to deal with information is above my
emotions.
After much deliberation with a friend, I came to the conclusion that the only thing that might lead to a negative impact from the possession of information is just that -
emotions. I do not want to launch into an
e2 tradition of bitching about past relationships, so I shall only ask this one question:
Would you be better off never seeing goatse.cx?
