Knowledge Doesn't Cure Ignorance
The amount of publicly available information today is staggering. And it's not slowing down at all.
The rate of ignorance hasn't improved with the rate of knowledge.
Today it could be argued we have as much or more ignorance than ever. Whether educated or not. Ignorance at so many levels too.
The access to knowledge doesn't cure the problem of ignorance. People who have knowledge still often lack wisdom.
So today in a world of so much knowledge, we need to teach people how to use the knowledge they have available to them, have to process it and how to put it to good use.
If knowledge doesn't lead to wisdom and ultimately to betterment, it's a complete waste.
Don't assume having knowledge will make you or anyone less ignorant. Gaining knowledge doesn't push out ignorance, the two can live quite fine together.
Wisdom will push out ignorance though. So seek wisdom and understanding to overcome ignorance.
