Just Stop Having Problems, Stupid! The Anti-Self−Help Guide By Dr. Matt Leichty, Fake Doctor

Guys, I think the "fake doctors" words carry some sense... I didn't know surely that some people we call, or who sincerely admit that they're fake can have some philosophical sense, okay, let's look at these words.



Therefore, knowledge consumes power. Think over everything that we’ve stated:

There is a limited amount of knowledge I can gain in one lifetime.
Each piece of knowledge consumes power.
Some pieces of knowledge produce more power than others.
If I don’t use it, some pieces of knowledge may consume more power than they produce.
By selectively choosing what knowledge I acquire, I will determine if my net power output is a) positive or b) negative.

Now, obviously, this is a stupid metaphor because the type of power consumed is not exactly the type of power produced. And I’m not suggesting you sit down and estimate the kilowatt hours that a piece of knowledge would consume, because that’s stupid.

I’m sure that there’s some really smart person who really, really wants to figure that out, and may even do it, and this is why they waste power. It’s simply not worth knowing. I don’t care if you tell yourself, “Oh, I’ll just get on the Google and look up the energy requirements of the human brain, and divide that by the number of facts a person retains at the end of their lifetime.

Or, maybe I’ll need to multiply the energy requirements of the entire human body by the percentage of body mass that the brain carries.” To this, I ask you, have you considered the fact that the energy requirements for a human being are variable over a lifetime, as indeed fact retention must be? My apologies, you say, I didn’t factor in those variables.

And then I might mention the fact that what you really want to do is get a random sampling of individuals over all ages and body types. And certainly, you would want to examine gender differences and environmental factors.
