So, you're an ignorant person. You have your set of beliefs, your values, your ideals, you've never questioned, never explored, never challenged, and if it wasn't for Harry Potter you may have never read an entire book in your life. Great job! You're bound to outlive most of the people that have the curse of seeking the truth, the curse of following current events including politics, and the curse of knowing a thing or two, about a lot of things. Keep your distance, ignorance is bliss! Now that we've established this, let's make sure you're going about being ignorant the right way...

How to Display Ignorance

Step1
First, let's identify our biggest enemy, science. We don't like science, and for that matter we don't care too much for facts either. Facts and science are simply propaganda that we best dismiss. Instead, we'd prefer uninformed opinions fueled by, you guessed it, ignorance. To find said opinions we need look no further than cable television.
Step2
Speaking of the news, we're not big fans of the news either. News and current events are things that may conflict with what we already decided we believe. Changing our viewpoints would involve another deadly tool of deception, thought. Thought is very dangerous. If we start thinking, we lose.
Step3
If you're going to insist on watching the news, make sure it's news that speaks to you, that sends you cherry-picked information that you can easily digest on a full stomach. While all major news outlets excel at this nothing does it quite better than this one in particular brand of programming. This article will not disclose the actual name, but we'll tell you that it rhymes with "Box-Fuse."
Step4
We need the world to know that we are ignorant! We best be making bogus claims on a regular basis. We should back these claims up with absolutely no facts or sources whatsoever, and if someone disputes our claim and does offer up compelling evidence against it, we quickly resort to name-calling and half-heartedly inform the person that we will "look into it."
Step5
Congratulations! You're an ignorant person. It is now your duty to stay completely in the dark and misinformed on virtually ever issue except for WHEN AND WHERE YOU CAN VOTE!! Yes, you will vote on anything and everything because your voice needs to be heard! Remember, keep your head in the sand, because everybody loves the beach!
