In keeping with the attitude in my post about short attention spans, I’d like to suggest that the willfully ignorant needn’t waste their time reading this blog page.  We live in an amazing age.  We have the whole of human history and the sum total of human wisdom available literally at our fingertips, and yet, so few of us avail ourselves of this great blessing. This is especially true when it comes to educating ourselves.  Heck, I wonder how many people even know what the word, ‘education,’ actually means.  I bet they don’t — because they’re ignorant.  The sad part is, most of us have been made ignorant by the fruits of our parents’ labors; and now, the same people who made us ignorant are using the fruits of our labors to keep us ignorant.  We have sold ourselves into this deception so well that we have actually become foot soldiers in defending the world of ignorance they have built around us.  Thus, they have made the vast majority of us into their slaves, and we embrace it as liberty — because we are ignorant.  It’s how people could read, “Arbeit macht frei,” and believe it’s true!
