I would prefer to remain ignorant.” And so I did, I dropped it, and yet here I am years later, and I finally realized that understanding how and why we make decisions, particularly moral and ethical ones, well, it's kind of very important. I was like, “Questioning all of my values and assumptions and relationships? No, thank you. And at the end of the first lecture, the professor said, “If you feel happy and content in your life, if you don't want to question all of your values and assumptions and relationships, then this is not the class.”Īnd so, I walked outta that lecture hall and immediately dropped the class. When I was in college, I signed up for an intro to philosophy class.
