Curious ignoramus

When you talk about something with Ignoramus, and it shows them a glimpse of their ignorance, Ignoramus is intrigued.

Not because they didn’t know what you talked about. But because it affords them the opportunity to seek why they didn’t know it.

Ignoramus knows that what they know about the world, so far, is based on a combination of what they’ve learnt from their own experience, from teachers, from books, from films, and friends.

They find what they’ve assumed to be true because it’s been said over and again by those around them.

And they take it a step further. They get to the root of everything they believe. They differentiate between adopted opinions and those they did the work to have.

Opinions are cheap. Especially when you avoid the work required to have one.
