Whatever you fear, finds you. If you're too generous, you will soon find it the universe decides you have too much. You can't improve yourself, because the part that is trying to improve itself is the one doing the improvement. To know something is to have power of it, generally, but what if the reverse is true? What if knowing something gives it power over you? Ignorance is our ammunition. The unexpected virtue of ignorance.

This feels like a GPT comment. Some pithy ideas but they just don't have any truth in my personal experience. and the whole "what if the reverse is true?" bit that leads to extolling the virtue of ignorance (??). Not even worth debating.

Is this a GPT based reply?

I would say it is. The OP is right that there are many things in life that we don't know for sure, and that it can be liberating to realize that we don't have to have all the answers. However, the idea that ignorance is a virtue is simply absurd. Ignorance is the root of all kinds of problems, both personal and societal. It is only by constantly expanding our knowledge and understanding that we can hope to make progress in the world.

Yours or mine? :) I mean GPT is clever enough that anything might fall under suspicion. But the one I was referring to just didn't seem to have any truth to it and not even much internal coherence beyond contrarianism.
