"Forget what you know"
I know for me personally there has been those moments in life where I have wondered if it would be just easier to not know the knowledge that I know. As tricky as that may sound, it's true. If we never knew anything from the beginning then how would we feel stupid or if we were missing out on something. We would never know that what we would be doing is wrong. Or that we shouldn't do it based off of morals. The world would be a pretty destructive place, because how could someone stop someone from doing something stupid because their would be no reasoning to get them to stop.
But then again, how would we know how to do stuff. How would we know how to properly do daily things in life. If we don't know how to do stuff, how would...Noah for example, know that soup should be warmed up and not eaten cold because it's gross. He will eat anything, yet the knowledge that he has tells him that he can't eat the soup cold because it will get him sick. (He was next to me while I was writing this, so he asked me to thread him in). We would probably end up reverting back to our instincts. Then what would make us better then animals? We would be beasts. Not different from the rest of the species except for the slim possibility that we might be able to talk. So forgetting what we know in the long run, would hurt us all. Maybe if we could forget little things that hurt us and prevent us from growing as a person then it might be best, but beyond that, remember and knowing how to do things is how us, as humans, evolve as a species.
