What's the point of knowing?

Non-fiction books. Yeah they're really interesting sometimes. The way the author pushes to have his voice heard through his book and to make his thoughts known to his readers. I mean, it's interesting, but so what? What's the point of knowing one POV?

My global studies lecturer often provides readings of different perspectives (yah I know how boring this is, perspectives are really important) so that we can see both sides of the picture. Sometimes people scream and criticise how horrible something is, and then we have the other person who claims that the same thing is actually really good if you look at it that way. So what do we students always do? Choose a side and then sit on the fence. So in the end, all you need is balance because that's what the world really needs, it needs balance. Cliche as it may sound, that's probably how most of my GP essays ended in jc. And probably how my FASS essays will end in the future..

Which makes me question, so what if we know?

Man, I should really have just gone to science. At least for science, knowing really empowers you (scientists) and helps you make vast improvements to a system. For humanities, it just seems all too complex and overwhelming for you to do anything really helpful.

Speaking of which, I really miss those days in JC when I knew about a topic so well, and I knew how applicable it was to our world. For example, I knew precisely what happens in our cells that causes cancer and cool stuff like that, but I know soon all this info will drift away from my head slowly. My parents used to ask me questions to clarify stuff they see on the news or tv if they want the specific details especially when it concerns biology or chemistry, and I would be able to really describe in a very detailed way. In the near future I can totally see myself as those people who watch documentaries or explanatory videos on YouTube to know more about something. Sigh, pie. URGGG okay as I'm typing this I really can't stand how I'm so greedy and want to know everything there is to know in the worldddddd. Eesh. It's not like I can split myself into two and get a science major or smth rightttt.
