The truth is that our race survived ignorance; it is our scientific genius that will do us in.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We keep, in science, getting a more and more sophisticated view of our essential ignorance.
We allow our ignorance to prevail upon us and make us think we can survive alone, alone in patches, alone in groups, alone in races, even alone in genders.
We must come to the point where we realize the concept of race is a false one. There is only one race, the human race.
I think what a life in science really teaches you is the vastness of our ignorance.
The most solid piece of scientific truth I know of is that we are profoundly ignorant about nature.
I think we risk becoming the best informed society that has ever died of ignorance.
Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.
Ignorance is the failure to discriminate between the permanent and the impermanent, the pure and the impure, bliss and suffering, the Self and the non-Self.
Most ignorance is vincible ignorance. We don't know because we don't want to know.
Not ignorance, but ignorance of ignorance, is the death of knowledge.
