Consistency requires you to be as ignorant today as you were

Summary

This quote means that in order to remain consistent, one must maintain a level of ignorance or lack of knowledge. It suggests that being aware of new information or learning something new may lead to changing one's views or opinions, which would contradict consistency. Therefore, to stay consistent, one must resist the urge to acquire new knowledge and maintain the same level of understanding or ignorance from the past.
