Season 3, Episode 14: Ignorance is a Problem. Are You Part of It?
CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains frank and direct discussions on sensitive topics including racism, politics, and religion, and uses blunt language. The views expressed are intended to challenge perspectives and provoke thought.
What is the most dangerous force in our society? Is it hate? Is it conflict? In this powerful and provocative episode, your host Neo Gentrics argues that the root of our biggest problems is Ignorance.
This is a classic "Food for Thought" episode designed to challenge your perspective and force you to question what you think you know. Neo Gentrics breaks down the different forms of ignorance and how they hinder our progress as a people.
This is a deep dive into the nature of ignorance, including:
- The Three Types: A breakdown of general ignorance (not knowing), willful ignorance (not wanting to know), and the deliberate manufacturing of ignorance.
- Ignorance vs. Stupidity: Why a lack of knowledge is not the same as a lack of intelligence.
- Propaganda & Disinformation: A critical look at how political and media forces can deliberately create an "alternate reality" for people.
- The Danger of an Unexamined Life: Why it is unforgivable to go through life with your eyes shut to the world around you.
- The Ultimate Solution: A powerful call to action from Leo Tolstoy: if you want to change the world, you must first start by changing yourself.
