ignorance

Saturday, the 10th of August, 2002 at 5:51am
everyone is inherently ignorant. people who point at other people and say "this person or people are ignorant" are even more so ignorant.

inherent ignorance can be proven thusly:
no-one can know absolutely everything. show me a person who knows absolutely everything and that person would not be ignorant.

what do i mean by absolutely everything?

a person who knows everything would have to know what is going on all the time in every part of the universe and everywhere outside of it (if there is an outside to the universe) at all times past present and future.

as the existence of such a person is very unlikely, i must say that everyone is ignorant. people who are aware of their ignorance are slightly less ignorant, but still ignorant nonetheless.
