The entire point of life is to better one's self, and in turn, use that to better the world around them. Some people view a pursuit of knowledge as not only a bad thing, but in some cases, a detriment to society. Why?
Without the pursuit of knowledge (i.e., intellectualism), we would all be living in huts, banging on rocks to communicate. Because some people dared to think, society advanced, and was able to sever the umbilical cord from a previous era or belief.
What is it about the advancement of thought that scares some?
