One who limits himself to his chosen mode of ignorance.

Summary

This quote suggests that a person who restricts themselves to a certain level of ignorance is willingly choosing to remain unaware or uninformed.

It implies that true understanding and wisdom can only be obtained by stepping outside of one's self-imposed limitations and embracing knowledge beyond what one is already familiar with.
