The Intellect and the Ignorant
Well I had a quiz during a debate training and i was shocked how much I got for it. 3/30! the topic? Just name the leaders of 30 countries (current ones definately). Now I know not only i’m ignorant, i’m no longer precieved as the"smart one".
Seriously, when is the last time you are bothered with any news? Any knowlegde worth reading? Anything deserved to be known and acknowledge? Nope. We choose not to know them, to live in our own world.
Knowledge nowadays are underappreciated, which explains the appalling numbers of books we read in a year. Not that we don’t know how, but rather just plain not to. Even we do read, we read things that bear little or no significance to the world.
Yes we are a bunch of ignorant idiots. Time to think about it and change now.
