[ambivalents]

I'm intrigued by this viewpoint and want you to elaborate more! Why is getting smarter the worst goal to have? Do you think it's useful to get very smart at something specific, or does it amount to the same as not being smart at all?

Asking as someone perpetually soothing myself with advice about diet, alcohol, spirituality, etc.

> Why is getting smarter the worst goal to have?

Because it's an empty, abstract and leading to nothing goal. Our mind needs to know "why exactly" to find its "hows". It's just how it works.
