I must admit that I am a knowledge snob....I believe that philosophy is the only thing worth my time, seeing business as a waste of time, as it is only beneficial here and now. What do you guys think of the hiearchy of knowledge?

Improving your knowledge and yourself is much more important that materialistic values.

Hmm, I meant improving your body and mind. I was a bit lax in what I said. I have no desire to earn loads of money (If I did I'd use it to enrich others lives) but I do desire to tune into the real undiscovered parts of my mind rather then buy lots of console games. I don't watch TV also.

It can depend on things like where you are placed on maslows theory needs and what particular aspect of your life gives you the most satisfaction at a particular stage of your life. For myself having lived through some tough times I now prefer for myself to live well and be happy and comfortable in my life.

That avatar looks slightly erotic in an alerting way.

I'm basically a lazy person and my sole motivation for the pursuit of knowledge comes entirely by accident. I have no desire to "further my education" (or at least any desire I do have is quashed by the stronger desire to do nothing) but when information comes my way, or is available in a convenient form that I don't need to work to get, that's fine.
Zen Storm, you might need to expand a little on your question. How do you see the hierarchy of knowledge, what is it to you?

Just like the knowledge heirarchy tree in the civilisation games! ;)
I think your philosophy has to be happiness. Everything else seems too wishy washy and highly absctracted to be worth bothering with. Ignorance is bliss and all that.

Ceri-Basically what I mean is where do people put their own value of knowledge...is the knowledge one gains through medical school superior to the knowledge I gain majoring in philosophy at school? It seems to me that the knowledge revealed through the study of thinking/reflection/and principals of the universe seem to be the most important, as when most people die this is what they revert back to. Reflecting on life, wondering where their death will take them etc. They don't think about microeconomics or new medical drugs.
