Everyone is Ignorant

So I was assigned to read an interesting bit of reading in my English class called "Everybody is Ignorant, Only on Different Subjects" by Eliot A. Butler. It rang true in a lot of ways for me and called me back down to Earth in some ways. I simply don't know enough about ANYTHING right now. Shocking I know.

P: His purpose was to encourage us to recognize and eliminate ignorance in ourselves.

T: He discussed ways that we are ignorant and how we can change that.

I: The main issue addressed was that we are all ignorant but most of us don't know it.

C: In the end the only cure for this is to actively pursue understanding.

  1. Excellent PTIC, Matt. Consider asking questions of yourself though: Why don't I know ANYTHING right now? What is keeping me from being the Renaissance man that Butler describes? Did you agree with everything Butler said, or were there some points you would counter?
