The problem isn’t “not knowing.” It’s the preference toward certainty over discovery.

Curiosity demands humility. Reality is always greater than our understanding. 

Do we put in more work to preserve our filters and biases, defending them, or do we recognize our lack of understanding? 

Creativity demands alternative explanations for everything, even what “everyone knows.” Intellectual stagnation is a complete failure of imagination, starting with the idea that what we know is incomplete. Or likely wrong. 

Ignorance is not about what someone knows. It’s how they respond to not knowing. 

Ignorance only survives because we seek certainty, comfort, and identity.
