Thread: Ignorance

Ignorance isn't to ignore something.

All I can say is this word gets thrown around too much.

What a great I am contributer to the conversation.

These small differences in the scheme of things are massive in our society.

Well, to a doctor you're quite ignorant then. I think you're just using the wrong word, that's all. Ignorance isn't something you can be mad at, as it's usually not really their fault.

You're quite ignorant of the rules of grammar, I should say

So, in reference to the original question; it is their own fault. Hence, they should be held responsible for their actions and the result of their ignorance.



It almost seems you're ignorant of the original poster's ideas; in favour of your own bias.

Do whatever you think is most effective based on your own knowledge and experience. For me it largely depends on the circumstance. Every response is good for something.

I think we should never be angry with ignorant people. Most times i'ts not even their fault they're that way.

Ignorance is this: Ignorance is not knowing something.. whether you choose to be ignorant or not, you're still ignorant. For instance, every one of us could be guilty of being ignorant of some random plot the government has to kill us all, then one day bam! We're dead. I know kind of random, but that's ignorance. The matrix is another good example of ignorance. Because everyone (in the movie) believes they are in the real world, they are all ignorant of the true reality there in.
With this in mind, how can we judge someone simply because they are ignorant? The simple thing to do s, let them be ignorant. Some may be ignorant by choice. You should never force knowledge upon someone. Think of religion. I'm an avid atheist because I think logically. I personally see people who believe in god/religion ignorant, where as they likely think of me being ignorant. Simply because we think that doesn't mean we can force our own beliefs upon eachother.
Anyhow, many times ignorance can be bliss. Let's say... you find out about Lucid Dreaming and really want to try it, but you can never become Lucid, so you become angry and depressed. If you were ignorant of LDing from the start, you would never be depressed and you would be contented with what you see as true/real, or what you know of. So you see? In many cases ignorance is bliss.
These are just a few examples, and although people who aren't ignorant think otherwise, those who are ignorant can be just as content, if not more so, than people who know the truth. (The Matrix seems to be the perfect example, think of the scene with the traitor eating the steak...)

Hope I contributed, and sorry for rambling
