I am so focused on gathering knowledge that I find it difficult to form opinions based on the knowledge I gather. I am always afraid that I will have missed some monumental information that would utterly destroy my worldview. Am I simply to be a vast database whose purpose is to dispense knowledge for others to make into opinions and consequent actions? (I'd be totally cool with that, but I'm running it by you first.)
i don't think you need to try to have opinions. opinions are fine, but they are not something you want to necessarily aim for. this world is a very intricate mix of different elements, all flying in different directions. it's nice to take it all in together
