    A lot of people are ignorant in the sense that they do care but they don’t want to educate themselves. They rather make up their own assumptions based on what fits the narrative they’ve chosen for their lives after receiving the bare minimum of input.

    I understand “Ignorance is bliss” as a reminder to focus on what’s right in front of you and not to concern yourself too much with things you can’t change. That’s pretty much the opposite of what a lot of ignorant people do.
