Summary

This quote suggests that the majority of ignorance is a conscious choice rather than an inherent lack of knowledge. It implies that people often remain ignorant because they choose not to seek or accept information due to personal biases, closed-mindedness, or a lack of curiosity. Rather than being a result of a lack of access to information, this quote portrays ignorance as a result of individuals deliberately avoiding knowledge that challenges their beliefs or comfort zones.
