Is ignorance an absolute? I believe a general knowledge is more useful than a specialized pursuit. The interconnections that might occur from a more general knowledge base might enable us to be less ignorant, compared to a specialized knowledge base. Until humans achieve immortality, we simply try to understand what we can before death. Truth is subjective.I think recognizing we are mostly ignorant is knowledge that has value and may spur us on to lessen our ignorance. I feel there is some merit in this, yes.
