IGNORANCE – A VOLUNTARY MISFORTUNE..
We are largely ignorant, that is, we operate in a state where some possible outcomes are unknown. We are prepared where outcomes can be estimated. There is a mismatch between our training and reality.
When human irrationality factors into all decisions, it hits us most when we are unknowingly ignorant. If we cannot consider all possible outcomes, preventing failure becomes almost impossible.
A rational decision maker should always consider the possibility of ignorance, thus ruling out Primary ignorance but that is a level of rationality very few achieve.
The early enlightened philosopher Spinoza explains the nature of ideas, he says that we have two kinds of ideas- the adequate and the inadequate ideas. The adequate ideas are made by the use of reason through inadequate ideas.
Knowledge creates that desire and thought that finally manifests as reality. The purpose of knowledge is to expand our consciousness, develop self and to realize the life one wants to live.
