A New Sight For The Unsighted

Cognizant Ignorance: Managing Unknowns, Fallacies and Informational Distortions

From Incognizance To Cognizance

Possibilities are only limited by our own self-limiting ignorance. In our age of information, we do not lack awareness, but our ignorance persists in the sense that we still lack understanding, and the lack of will and willingness to change to obtain that awareness. Apathy is, therefore, self-administered ignorance.

Recognizing that both my positive and negative emotions may be dangerous if they are not controlled and guided to desirable ends, I will submit all my desires, aims and purposes to my faculties of reason, and I will be guided by it in giving expression to these.

It is not the solstice between God and man, but the inherent ignorance of the original sin that eclipses the mind from seeing the Truth. What freedom are we celebrating when there is no freedom from ignorance, apathy and helplessness? — Ursa

Is it really just an accident, or just an ill-informed and ill-facilitated incident, from our own persistent wilful, self-sabotaging, and self-limiting ignorance lulling our hindsight from teaching our foresight? We could have gotten the next fate-steering answer, foresee and averted the next tragedy if only — we give attention to the question that gives the foresight the privileged view to tomorrow.— Ursa

When we realize that the reality we know is really a small fragment of a larger mystery, it spurs us on the exploration. The paradox is — ignorance is a space and opportunity to our unknowns and unbounded. The knowledge and insight asymmetry is always lesser on the foresight of the present and to the higher work function on hindsight of the future. If we work on it sincerely, the future should promise our awareness to be on the Moore’s law of augmented awareness on returns. Productive ignorance should be a semaphore for us to uncover the dark matter of reality. It is the empty space of hidden particles yet to be discovered. Hence, realizing ignorance is the first step towards enrichment.

The first illumination to the awareness and understanding the existence and nature…
