Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance.

Summary

This quote suggests that opinions play a crucial role in bridging the gap between knowledge and ignorance. While knowledge is based on factual information and understanding, ignorance refers to a lack of knowledge or awareness. Opinion, however, falls in between as it is subjective and based on personal beliefs or perspectives. Opinions allow individuals to express their thoughts and engage in discussions, creating a space for exploration and learning. They serve as a pathway for expanding one's knowledge and challenging ignorance by presenting varying viewpoints to foster critical thinking and understanding.

I don't need you sitting around here like that.
