Since everybody is nitpicking here, I'll add that this is indeed ignorance. We're know what we know, and are ignorant of what we don't. Being ignorant by itself shouldn't be viewed as a flaw, but an inevitable state of our limited capacity to learn. The real flaw is being proud of staying willfully ignorant.
- danielvaughn 4y agoI agree with what you're saying, but practically speaking, using the word "ignorant" is universally interpreted as a negative term.
- mechanical_bear 4y agoIt is not universally interpreted as negative. I have often said in conversation; “Please explain [x] to me, as I’m ignorant as to how that fits in/works/etc.” I certainly don’t say it to demean myself.
