Robert Charles WilsonI won't put my ignorance on an altar and call it God. It feels like idolatry, like the worst kind of idolatry.
About This Quote
Most people would agree that most people who claim that their ignorance is a higher form of knowledge like they were worshiping it. They claim they know things about the world and the universe and most people would disagree and say they don't know anything. It is kind of like saying you are an expert about something when you do not understand the basics of something. As my dad always said, you don't become an expert by making up your mind to be one even if you aren't.
