知识只是操纵自然和其他人的工具。因此，总的来说，在幸福方面，伊拉斯谟认为愚蠢、无知或天真是带领更幸福生活的好品质。我们都见过孩子。随着年龄的增长，我们失去了那种天真，变得更加不快乐。
蒙田主张不要随波逐流，而是寻求一些孤独来培养自己内心的平静。不要像吸毒者一样寻求他人的认可。你越往上走，就越想变得更高更高。没有山是足够高的。所以要听蒙田的话，因为他从山上下来，在小屋里安顿下来。甚至他的名字都意味着蒙田，所以攀爬自己和自己的自我，而不是他人的认可。
伯特兰·罗素认为工作既不是道德上的好事也不是坏事，所以我们应该将幸福置于工作之上。为了生活而工作，或者为了工作而生活。
我真的应该听听这个。但我想要更多的订阅者。蒙田，帮帮我！
因此，知识可以使你的物质生活更美好，或者让你在财务上更成功，或者提升你的社会地位，但它可能会降低你的整体幸福感。了解事物也让我们人类对世界非常愤世嫉俗，就像福柯所说的，所有的知识都是力量，所有的权威都想压制你。
另一方面，天真可能会使你的物质生活更艰难，因为你并没有一切都想清楚，但它也可能会带领你走向更持久的幸福，因为你信任他人并依赖他人，这会在你自己和周围人中带来一种诚挚的水平。因此，知识让你成功，但它也可能愤世嫉俗，而无知阻碍了你的成功，它可能会导致更幸福的生活。你觉得呢？

Knowledge is just a tool for power to manipulate nature and other humans. So to sum up, on the happiness side, Erasmus argued that folly, ignorance, or naivety is a good thing to have to lead a happier life. We have all seen children. As we grow older, we lose that naivety and become a bit more miserable.
Montaigne argued that you shouldn’t follow the crowd, instead, seek some solitude to cultivate your own inner peace. Don’t seek validation from others, like a drug addict. The higher you go, the more you seek to get higher and higher. No mountain is high enough.
So listen to Montaigne, because he came down the mountain to settle in a hut. Even his name means Montaigne, so climb yourself and your ego, not other people’s validation.
Bertrand Russell argued that work is not a morally good or bad thing, so we should prioritize happiness over work. Work to live or live to work, not work to death.
I should really listen to this. But I want to have more subscribers. Montaigne, help! So knowledge can make your physical life better or make you more successful financially or boost your social standing, but it might decrease your overall happiness. Knowing things also makes us humans very cynical about the world, just like Foucault said that all knowledge is power and all authorities want to suppress you. Naivety, on the other hand, might make your physical life harder, as you don’t have everything figured out, but it can also lead you to a more long-lasting happiness as you trust other people and rely on other people, which brings a level of sincerity in yourself and those around you. So knowledge makes you successful but it could also cynical while ignorance hinders your success, it could lead to a more blissful life. What do you think?
