Does knowledge make you insensitive?

Question

Does knowledge make you insensitive?

Answer 1

I'm just insensitive, I don't know why, but the more I learn the less I care about people as a whole. (And by "as a whole" I mean the human species.)

Answer 2

Experience can desensitize you, knowledge just makes you more worldly.  Sensitivity is also a personality trait.

Answer 3

Well through my knowledge I my ideas can seem cruel and insensitive.  But in person I always be nice and sensitive towards people.  

Answer 4

I suspect the inability - or lack of desire - to put oneself in another's shoes is what makes a person insensitive. But I also suspect that people who think they have a lot of "knowledge" aren't very bright to begin with.  

Answer 5

Yes it is!  when you are new to it.

when you are just grasping whatever knowledge comes in your way ,u really become insensitive then as you become habituated to it. it becomes normal for u and you behave as you are!

Answer 6

"a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing".

thus, if your knowledgeable enough, it isn't true that you become insensitive. the more you know things around you, the more you become sensitive. sensitive in the sense that you are aware of how it came and come to be....

Answer 7

No. Actually knowledge makes me more sensitive. Being insensitive to me is due to lack of knowledge. Knowledge infact allows you to be more informed and makes a person more understanding. You are more sensitive because of the knowledge you have acquired.

Thanks for asking. Have a great day!
