If people woul apply everything that they learned in they lives, then ignorance wouldn't be as highly profound!\nThink before you act, or don't act without thinking. thats where ignorance and mistakes happen you all know that just hadn't thought about yet.  cause your too stupid

Stupid is as stupid does. That just does not work. Your mistakes in life do not show for years and years sometimes. You feel that others are ignorant and as you grow, you find how wrong and ignorant you are.

To some, ignorance is bliss. To others, it is a curse.\n\nI chalk the lemming mentality up to sheer laziness. If you frequent this forum, you will quickly be able to determine who has a legitimate interest in asking and answering in a thought-provoking manner (ie, the educated ones), and "the rest of them", who instead choose to post in a way that is intended to be inflammatory, cause dissention, and basically just feed the ego of the author. \n\nSometimes it is genetics, sometimes it is environment. Whatever it is that causes people to have tunnel vision, be socially and civically atrophied....it certainly does nothing to promote positive change - on any level.

It is not the knowledge that is evil.  It is the way that knowledge is used.  If it is used to gain power, then the knowledge will often be twisted and corrupted.  If one does not posses wisdom, then one cannot properly use knowledge, and again the knowledge can become corrupted.  It is people that corrupt knowledge; not the other way around.

no, only a few people are smart. Most of us did not discover anything new, though of anything new. We just learn whatever ppl thought up and most of us couldn't even follow the ideas becoz we are not able to think logically.

Somepeople are not convinced anything exists until they see it.  With many of the things about being rare or intangible, you may never get those people on your side.  Others dont believe because of culture or upbrining.

for some reason society has taught us to believe it. There are alot of smart people out there that dont believe everything they hear, but I think everyone should be smart enough to listen to the facts they hear and either look it up somewhere else to find if it is a fact, or use common sense.

Education and ignorance stands together. When a human being getting old, then she/he learned much but the sorrunding also getting old to them. So, we need to make youthfulness on education where we will invest our time for being a educator ourselves. Education for all will make the happened. Keep your hand for UN.

Knowledge is nothing if you don't put it to use.\nWillingness means nothing if you don't do something.

Yes, ask lot's of questions, don't be fobbed of with rubbish answers and make sure you can test the answers for accuracy.  Enlightenment is finding the truth... we can't do that by blindly accepting what other people tell us or by following old clapped out melodramatic religions.

this is part of what they are taught in school. that they are the elite of society and that they are to spread their knowledge amoungst the uneducated people. this happens at every level of education, even those with "only a Master's" are looked down upon and are not considered as refined or as well versed as those with PhDs. What most people don't realize, is that they learned only what they were taught, this doesn't make them anymore wise that anyone else necessarily... it just makes them more knowledgable in certain subject matter.

Yes, you can lack common sense. I have a high IQ but the simplest things don't make sense to me sometimes. Experience is the best teacher.

Yes, I agree. Most Christians are ignorant but most people in general are also. Maybe God has been laying this on your heart not in order to criticize them but for you to look deep inside yourself and see what you can do to help these Christians become less ignorant. (if they are truly Christians). Use your knowledge to help teach others. Sadly you will realize how heartbreaking this chore will be for you, but it sounds like you may already know this. Remember that God knows your heart and the teaching of His truths,wether accepted or not, always bring glory to God.

Everyone is different first of all.  It is true that some cultures learn from the people in their community their trade or occupation.\n\nHigher education gives you many choices in life, and it opens you up to many possibilities.  Higher education is why our country is so successful.  Don't underestimate the power of knowledge.  The wisest man knows that he knows nothing!  \n\nSometimes people are unhappy with their careers, it just wasn't for them.  That doesn't mean that they regret getting an education.  And it's never too late to do what you love to do.  Our minds will last forever....knowledge is power!!

Yes people that think they know everything will  always be caught out, as they can't possibly know everything.\n\nIf they have lots of preconcieved notions about  what things are then they will fail to truly see about things, but instead imposes fake mental constucts to understand the world.\n\nOnce you believe you know everything you would stop learning...

Good idea.  People need to be educated and to reduce their fears and prejudice.  It is important for people to learn the truth about other people and their situations.

Are you serious? Are you looking for things to get upset about?  He said awareness could be improved.  Didn't call anyone stupid. And yes, some people should be more aware of things.  It is for their best interest. Literally.

One thing I do know is that even the most intellent being will never run out of things to learn.  \nThe more intelligent a person the more they can access information and find specific information.  A person of not such an intelligent dispostion can still learn through YA :D
