The Age of Ignorance

We all are ignorant of some subject or issue, which is
understandably a given. We are not all biophysicists or advanced
mathematicians, that makes us ignorant of those sciences. It would not be
reasonable to assume that any one human being could be fully knowledgeable of
all things.
However within the past few years we have become
susceptible to a programmed ignorance of current news events through an
inundation of biased information. Never before has there been such biased
control exhibited to the general population by the news media.
Parsing, rejection or complete censorship of real news
content has now become acceptable to many; and why? Simple, because it feeds
the uninformed needs of those who rebuff anything that is contrary to their
emotionally formulated ideology of what they want to believe. The
arrogance of ignorance!
What now is acceptable in today’s world is a cancel
culture mentality by those who want to be in control because they somehow know
everything about everything, meanwhile formulating what life should be for the
rest of us. What is interesting is their concept of what things should be does
not necessarily include their abiding to those same rules and regulations. If
you don’t know this you are ignorant of current facts and reality. Please be
aware of the contemporary progressive level of hypocrisy that is now part of
our political landscape, and meanwhile being fully shielded by the news media.
This keeps many happy in their cocooned ignorance by supporting their
ideological beliefs.
There are currently major issues taking place that
are, for many in this country, now first coming to light that should have been
made available to the public months ago, but you had to be kept ignorant of
that information for solely political leverage, and not what is good for this
country. So, often we hear the so called journalist or reporter use the term
“unsubstantiated” in trying to minimize or debunk information contrary to what
they want to hear. Maybe I misunderstand what journalists or reporters are
supposed to do, but I always thought it was their job to investigate to find
the truth, and not to pick and choose what to scrutinize based solely on what
they want to believe or support.
Whenever you have news media outlets purposely ignore
legitimate news and information you are being kept ignorant. Why? So they can
socially engineer your thoughts by legitimizing their opinionated narrative and
support their ideological beliefs, but certainly not to report reality or
facts. You are being spoon feed ignorance! Permitting that to happen just makes
you an ignorant fool. What is more important to you, the truth or your
emotional beliefs?
The arrogance of
ignorance!
