"“No man is born into this World a Master. For this reason, Man is equipped by Nature with the greatest of treasures, the ability to Learn. From Learning comes all forms and levels of enlightenment. The Man who applies himself, and studies to Learn, thus finds Salvation. There is no more Evil a curse than to name a man as Ignorant.”
While reportedly from an unnamed 2nd century BCE Persian poet referencing an inscription on a tomb from the Achaemenid Empire that had ended a few centuries earlier, we find this concept repeatedly working its way throughout history from 11th century Aiki-jujutsu texts, to 15th century Qabalah and magic commentary.
It is still valid in our Times; there is no Evil greater than Ignorance.
Assumptions are the base of Ignorance. If you are assuming that you do know, then you won’t seek to know. Assumptions are dangerous, especially unrecognized, and unacknowledged, as they blind you to what you do not know. Assumptions are built upon mountains riddled with tunnels and caves of ignorance."
YES! I am a business researcher, and when people ask me 'who is your ideal client'? I will sometimes say 'People who know what they don't know". I spent the early years of launching my business trying to convince people that hiring an outside set of eyes to examine the assumptions around their business decisions was good business insurance. But found it ate up too much biz dev time trying to sell a 'need' instead of just trying to sell a service.
