often leads him to blunder through conversations, relying on off-color jokes and unfounded opinions to mask his lack of understanding. He finds satisfaction in doubling down on his misguided beliefs, even when presented with irrefutable facts and well-thought-out arguments, making him a stubborn and persistent obstacle to any meaningful exchange of ideas.

However, there is hope!

With every new member who joins our ranks, our collective knowledge and determination grow stronger. Each time you attend one of our classes, engage in a thought-provoking discussion, or participate in our community events, you contribute to the force that pushes back against Willful Ignorance.

 

Together, we can dispel the darkness of Ignorance. Here's a video to "clue" you in on what we mean.

 

 

 

By nurturing an informed and curious mind, you become a beacon of light, illuminating the path towards a more enlightened society.
