Ignorance made the world a dangerous place. It was only when mankind learned and adapted to the world that we progressed. The earliest example of this was when man learned the seasons.
It was only when humanity learned how to prepare for winter that they began to create a sense of normalcy. By taking advantage of the abundance of spring, man learned to cultivate the land and live off it.
Slowly but surely, man gained knowledge that allowed him to rule the entire earth. Of course, the opposite has happened in today's society, but that is beside the point.
While knowledge and wisdom have certainly allowed humanity to progress, the lack or misuse of either leads to misinformation and ignorance.
This was why, instead of progressing, my country was currently so bored out of its mind that it invented 52 genders and removed women from the list. It was expected to be born ignorant, but not to die ignorant.
