Fahrenheit 451 pp. 40-68

QUESTION: (From the perspective of Captain Beatty).
Is it better to be ignorant and happy OR is it better to be aware, educated and disturbed at the world?

In my opinion, being Ignorant and Happy is both good, The reason is because if you're ignorant and happy you can still have your feeling, and your thoughts about thinking or feeling good. Let the people win their contests, and Fill there mind with brilliant information, then they will feel like thinking and turn happy.

I think that what you are saying in this post is that you think that it is good to be ignorant and happy. I wonder why you think that. I think that what we need most in this world is not our entertainment, but out knowledge.
Think about it. For hundreds of years humans went without television or game boys. We were fine then. Only in recent years have we started to have large scale wars with nuclear missiles, killing even more people. Only in recent years have people started to pollute the environment in the way that they do. And the worst part about it? No one seems to care.
So is it better to be ignorant with out technology, than knowing what is going on in the world, even if that makes us think about something other than the next fantasy task in your video game?
