Today’s discussion was much more controversial dealing with
religion and science. Coming from a catholic school my whole life I’ve been
instilled with the same religious ideologies. As soon as I got to Gulliver I really
expanded my thinking simply because I was allowed to and I had to resources to.
After listening to the lecture today in class I understand and empathize with
both sides. However, even both sides have two sides so we’re left with a
constant struggle of a million sides.
I think the more intelligent you get the harder it is to
have a valid opinion which I think Dostoyevsky tries to get at when he mentions
how people that do something with their lives are stupid. What I really think
he means is that it is almost impossible to have a view on something and remain
intelligent without understanding the opposing views. I think the stupid people
are ignorant and it’s hard to be intelligent without…going insane.
