Correct Ignorance

When I was a child, it was repeated that “The more you learn, the more you know; the more you know, the more you forget; the more you forget, the less you know; the less you know, the more you learn.” Allowing second chances, it was perfect for ignoring the reality of the Cold War. Today, when we can’t say “normal” but only “the new normal”, we need to correct the reasoning. Surely, the less you know, the less you are able to learn.
