Let me begin by telling two stories about knowing and its importance to ignorance. These stories are quite familiar, but familiarity has concealed their virtue: knowledge is the bearer of ignorance. The Biblical Eve succumbed to the serpent’s temptation to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge. The fruit was food for thought — it would make Eve and Adam wise, or, in other words, give them the ability to know good from evil, right from wrong. It was actually god’s plan to make ignorance knowable by providing instruction against it, by strictly forbidding Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge. In this story, the operation of ignorance is seen — ignorance is not a lack of knowledge but instead, choosing a certain kind of knowledge “while ignoring others” (Grasswick, 2011, p. 63). As punishment, so the story goes, Adam and Eve were expelled from the garden of no problem (or the garden of Eden) and made to suffer death, sickness, and physical labor.
