Philosophy and psychology are interesting subjects for many intellectuals. Often topics like this pop up in our Online Think Tank. Not long ago we were discussing with a very brilliant artist in the group what made them so creative and dynamic. After discussing this for hours. The person made an interesting comment and stated;

“How un-curious and ignorant. What will I walk away with after talking to anyone if I am not curious about them and their ideas?”

Apparently, the conversation was so fascinating that it began to center around the artists and thus the questions were rapid fire. Eventually the comment came out and that brought up a whole different topic. So, what is the answer to that question?

Well it is hard to say, but you can definitely protect your belief system by refusing input. Your Belief System is Always in Jeopardy; Do Not Fear It, Embrace It.

Maybe this human trait is a wise thing to help them categorize everything for better understanding, perhaps this is why some folks do not ever dig too deep. Perhaps it is part of the human conditioning which allows them to build upon informational input and make decisions, which are best for themselves, so that individual can go on to replicate? Hmm? A new philosophy built on an old; perhaps. Yet it is common for folks to stop taking in input or searching once they have convinced themselves that they have all the answers. I hope this philosophical discussion serves you well in 2007.
