A good way to avoid being ignorant is: When you are presented with a new idea, listen to people who represent that idea first. Never heard of proship people before? Search for stories from proship people. Second hand information will most likely be wrong or confusing.
People don’t want to learn about things for themselves, they just want to be told the answer.
The human mind also makes it easy for the “scariest” answer to be equated in our brains with the “truest” answer.
So sometimes people hear an answer that sounds scary to them and assume that it must be the correct one.
