Ruth Ozeki Quotes
Coming At Us Like This--in Waves, Massed And Unbreachable--knowledge Becomes Symbolic Of Our Disempowerment--becomes Bad Knowledge--so We Deny It, Riding Its Crest Until It Subsides From Consciousness... "Ignorance." In This Root Sense, Ignorance Is An Act Of Will, A Choice That One Makes Over And Over Again, Especially When Information Overwhelms And Knowledge Has Become Synonymous With Impotence... If We Can't Act On Knowledge, Then We Can't Survive Without Ignorance... Ignorance Becomes Empowering Because It Enables People To Live. Stupidity Becomes Proactive, A Political Statement.
