RE: IS THERE A CONNECTION BETWEEN @FRANKBACON, @ORIGINALSIMULANT, and UTOPIAN.IO? MORE CONSPIRACY?
I think arrogance is a symptom of ignorance. Q is not very wise even though he knows everything. Wisdom uses knowledge the right way, do no harm, arrogance uses knowledge “my” way, who cares what happens.....morality helps keep the peace but it may not be wise.
I’m not sure whether or not one is the symptom of the other, but they could certainly be comorbid.
Q Isn’t wise because he lacks the fundamental requisite for wisdom: the knowledge of good and evil. Solomon said that the fear of God is the beginning of ALL wisdom. Later he defines the fear of God as the ‘hatred of evil.’ Thus it follows that the greater ones hatred is for evil then the wiser one will be. However, implicit in that is the knowledge one must have of good and evil; without which it is impossible to identify evil, making the hatred of it also impossible.
As for doing no harm...I’m not sure. I would think that ultimately comes down to who gets to say what harm is. The bird harms the worm, the lion harms the gazelle, and goodness harms evil. The most vile people in the world would be quick to point out the harm they would suffer should they ever be subject to justice. It’s hard to say.
