¶ Defining Ignorance and its Forms
I'm Rory Stewart and I want to talk about ignorance. There are known unknowns. That is to say we know there are some things we do not know. I will die without having read everything that was written in classical. There are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know. What is space? How does time work? You have no experience on which to build an image.
¶ Embracing the Paradox of Ignorance
We prize knowledge, and rightly so, and we think of ignorance as a bad thing. Please educate yourself. But I want to make a positive case for ignorance. Life isn't a climb up a mountain on a set path. Life is like surfing. You know, waves come and you're adapting and nothing is settled. Knowledge can distract us, mislead us, endangerous.
If we indulge this idea that there's, if you like, a a maximal amount of information that will equip us for pretty well any eventuality we could think of, we're going to be both disappointed and hurt, and we're going to do damage to others. While ignorant the is often the most fundamental insight about our human condition.
at the end of their various wisdom people as great as Buddha, Confucius, Saint Paul, Montaigne, Socrates came to the conclusion that they were largely ignorant, that what they knew was that they didn't know. We have an experience of perceiving so much more than we do. Our perceptual system Picks up some clues and then we're in a 3D movie. And uh we don't know how little we know. We don't know how it's been cobbled together and handed to us.
¶ Ignorance for Creativity and Wisdom
Because ignorance isn't simply the opposite of knowledge. It's inseparable from it. Science is often presented as uh a space of our knowledge. I think it's would be better presented as a space uh where there is awareness of our ignorance. Every new creative endeavor basically begins in ignorance. By not knowing the hill you're trying to climb is that big, it means that you can start.
Just about every game I can think of involves ignorance. There's no adventure without ignorance, there's no narrative. With the help of leading thinkers from around the world, I explore how embracing the paradox of ignorance can help us become more humble, creative, motivated, and wise.
Just to have in the back of your mind that whatever I believe about myself, about the world, about my political candidates, about my religion, may in fact be wrong, because that opens me up then to being receptive to other viewpoints. Knowledge is basically an accumulation of information, but that information is not necessarily used wisely. From BBC Radio 4, listen to Rory Stewart, The Long History of Ignorance on BBC Sounds.
