Wow! It seems like I stirred up a hornet's nest with my NASA comment! It's not about the AMOUNT of knowledge you accumulated, but the TYPE of knowledge you have that is most important. For example, does the fact that I can name all 18 Apollo astronauts in one sentence, and discuss my theory of what sank the RMS Lusitania in the next make me a better person, or even more knowledgeable than someone who is more concerned with which celebrity is dating which this week, or how to score the most points in the latest video game? No, of course not!! But, does the types of knowledge I concern myself with acquiring make me better equipped to solve critical situations that may arise in my life, or at the very least, use some piece of knowledge I already posses to gain another piece of knowledge I need to acquire to solve the problem? I would definitely like to think so!!
