I thought I thought I knew a thing and knew the thing was true, but as I learned and time went on I gradually grew, and learned the things I thought I knew were really only thoughts, and all the things at times just thoughts entirely for naught, knowledge is a fickle thing and like the brain in grams, that weigh themselves upon the mind and shape the way it scans, for better or for worse and hopefully for better things, you'll learn to know what really is and keep the thoughts just things.
What is a lie but a thought not outweighed by real things, and what is ignorance but real things not being there at all?

The willing or unwilling extinguishing of the mind toward a particular subject. Generally, ignorance results in confusion and anger, which themselves result in the idolization of emotionalist and collectivist world-views: a mindless, emotional attachment to the super-organism of a collective, whether that be a society, tribe or gang.
If an individual remains willfully ignorant toward a particular subject, the individual is forced to make unreasonable appeals to experts, authority figures, and, depending on the individual's corroded state of mind, a collective (mob rule). These unreasonable appeals are often utilized to compensate for the individual's lack of substance (knowledge). Through the blind faith in experts, authority figures and collectives, the distortion of data for political purposes arise. As distortion of data (which results in incremental detachment from reality) strengthens, the individual, being ignorant, is treated like a child or an irrational animal to be rounded up, controlled and directed toward a mythological 'common good'. The individual is dumbed down even further through the mediums of education manipulation and excessive entertainment amusements to keep the individual distracted from self-cultivation, character and asking questions.
The only cure for ignorance is the pursuit of knowledge and thus knowing thyself (mastering the body, mind and senses through the exercise of reason). In short, the only cure for ignorance is the triumph of reason. Anything contrary to reason is slavery. Slavery is ignorance. Ignorance is death. Death produces zombies.

Ignorance is a two-way street.

Apparently, it is bliss. And it also seems to be the cause of a large majority of the world's problems. So bliss causes shit to happen.
Extremist terrorists blow themselves up to go to heaven, which is bliss, at the same time leaving a shitload of chaos behind. Sheer ignorance.

I hate Muslims because they are all terrorists, Republicans because they are all religious warmongering rich men bent on world domination, and anyone with a brain agrees with me on most matters of any consequence (a verbal demonstration of ignorance).

When people add pointless shit to their definitions about things that have no additional value and are so blatantly untrue it makes you angry.
see example below
see example below
(a.k.a. drug dealers, mindless celebrities, rappers, ect. ect.) that it causes there brain to become pickled and thus come up with totally ignorant words and phrases to describe the simplest of things. They also have to there credit such words as: baller, balling, “my A game”, player, 24-7, sick, dubs, benjamins, 20” blades, fo shizzle, the entire concept of “spinners”, bling, and ice.
that definition is a prime example if ignorance of history and how the words came about
"live the lie" wrote this uneducated piece of shit opinion
