> "Today, the absence of knowledge is a fragile and temporary condition, like the darkness in a closet whose door happens to be shut." - Eliezer_Yudkowsky @ LessWrong
I gotta say, I really like the idea that a lack of knowledge is a fragile thing. Too often, we imagine ignorance as a large, immovable barrier. And the condition is usually hard to dissuade, but we certainly can progress onward in spite of it with hardly the effort of simply ignoring it. Like cracking a door open slightly to look in.
