i'm back for a bit - checking in on the X-world from a new perspective... seeing the world's affairs from life in far north Daintree Rainforest. Interesting because up here it's all super chill and happy and honest (albeit, Cooktown was once 'Australia's murder-capital')

Unlike willful ignorance, where someone chooses to avoid knowing something, innocent ignorance does not carry blame because it results from circumstances beyond the person’s control.

[Lydia Gallant @GallantLydia]

what you know you don’t know is better than being one who has a sense they know it all. It’s better to have innocent ignorance than be wilful in this.

[Lydia Gallant @GallantLydia]

In philosophy, innocent ignorance refers to a state of unawareness where a person lacks knowledge but is not morally or intellectually culpable for this lack.

[Lydia Gallant @GallantLydia]

For example, a child or a person from a remote community might be innocently ignorant about certain scientific concepts because they haven’t been exposed to that information.

[Lydia Gallant @GallantLydia]

This term implies that the ignorance is not due to willful neglect, refusal to learn, or deliberate avoidance of knowledge.

Choose not to ask what is the meaning of life. Instead try to have a meaningful life.
