Ignorance

 

Thomas Pynchon

 

_____________________________________________

 

In 1984, author Thomas Pynchon observed:

 

We are often unaware of the scope and structure of our ignorance. Ignorance is not just a blank space on a person's mental map.

 

It has contours and coherence, and for all I know rules of operation as well. So as a corollary to writing about what we know, maybe we should add getting familiar with our ignorance, and the possibilities therein for ruining a good story.

 

Ignorance can have negative effects on individuals and societies, but can also benefit them by creating within them the desire to know more.

 

For example, ignorance within science opens the opportunity to seek knowledge and make discoveries by asking new questions. Though this can only take place if the individual possesses a curious mind.
