[Skywise]

I'm a bit of a Simon and Garfunkel fan, and there is a line from the song The Boxer that often resonates in my ears during discussions of ignorance,

"All lies and jest. Still, a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest."

As I get older I am sadly becoming numb to the level of ignorance in the world. And it's not just science. Ignorance seems to be pervasive in all facets of life.

I think it has always been this way. It's just that as we gain life experience we become more aware of it.

I don't think it will ever change.
