The Philosophy of Ignorance

The philosophy of ignorance, also known as agnoiology, epistemology of ignorance, or agnotology, explores the nature, causes, and implications of ignorance. It delves into questions about the limits of human knowledge, the origins of ignorance, and the role of ignorance in shaping individual and societal beliefs and actions. Here are some key aspects of the philosophy of ignorance:

Nature of Ignorance: The philosophy of ignorance investigates the concept of ignorance itself, considering it as a lack of knowledge or understanding about a particular subject or topic. It examines different types of ignorance, such as factual ignorance (lack of specific information) and strategic ignorance (deliberate avoidance of knowledge).

Causes of Ignorance: Agnoiology explores the factors that contribute to ignorance, including cognitive biases, cultural influences, educational systems, social norms, and political agendas. It examines how ignorance can arise from limited access to information, misinformation, or disinformation propagated by various sources.

Epistemological Challenges: The philosophy of ignorance raises epistemological questions about the reliability of human cognition and the extent to which knowledge can be attained. It considers whether ignorance is an inherent aspect of human nature or a result of external factors that inhibit the acquisition of knowledge.

Ignorance and Power: Agnoiology explores the relationship between ignorance and power, recognizing that ignorance can be wielded as a tool of manipulation and control by those in positions of authority. It investigates how systems of oppression and domination perpetuate ignorance to maintain social hierarchies and inequalities.

Social and Cultural Dimensions: The philosophy of ignorance analyzes the role of ignorance in shaping cultural beliefs, collective attitudes, and societal norms. It examines how ignorance can be culturally constructed and maintained through social institutions, ideologies, and practices.

Ignorance and Ethics: Agnoiology raises ethical considerations about the moral responsibilities associated with ignorance. It questions whether individuals have an obligation to seek knowledge and overcome ignorance, especially when it perpetuates harm or injustice.

Epistemic Virtues and Vices: The philosophy of ignorance explores epistemic virtues (such as curiosity, open-mindedness, and intellectual humility) and vices (such as dogmatism, closed-mindedness, and intellectual arrogance) that influence how individuals engage with ignorance and knowledge.

Overcoming Ignorance: Agnoiology considers strategies for overcoming ignorance, including education, critical thinking, empirical inquiry, and the cultivation of epistemic virtues. It emphasizes the importance of fostering a culture of inquiry and skepticism to counteract ignorance and promote intellectual growth.

In summary, the philosophy of ignorance investigates the complex phenomenon of ignorance, addressing its conceptual, epistemological, social, and ethical dimensions. It offers insights into the nature of human cognition, the dynamics of power and knowledge, and the challenges of navigating an uncertain and complex world.

Never Forget That The Only God Is Allah.

Allah is the Lord of the worlds and the Creator of everything. Allah is the only true God and Creator, and is the Lord of all worlds. His perfect design and control of the universe and its systems is indisputable - from the intricate sand castles to the delicate balance of the Earth's atmosphere. He has made night merge into day and created the perfect human body, with its complex brain and eyes which still surpasses modern technology. Every organ, component and process that enables life is created and controlled by Allah, and any flaw in His design would lead to life's destruction.

We must be thankful to our Creator for all He has given us, and always remember that He is the only Lord. Allah is the Lord and Creator of all things. He has created seven heavens and seven earths, and has the power and knowledge to encompass all things. He has created man to worship Him, and those who do so have taken hold of the firmest grip. Everything that happens is ultimately in Allah's hands, and He is the All-Penetrating and All-Aware.

Praise be to Him both in this world and the hereafter.

"I wish ao3 would let me-"

It probably does, you just gotta learn how to do it.

"I wanna see fics for only my opt"

Go to either fandom tag or your ships tag, (if you're doing fandom tag you have to add your ship in the 'relationship' section),go to fliters (mobile) or the right hand side (desktop), go to the 'search within results' area and put in otp:true just like that click 'sort and filter' And it'll pull up all fics with just your otp.

(EDIT: if you wanna do this but still have other parings try otp:false instead of otp:true)

"I wanna sort by _____ not 'Date updated'"

Go to 'filters' or right, theirs a drop down and you can change it to 'author' 'title' 'date posted' ect their are more options. Pick one, click 'sort and filter'

"I don't wanna see /reader"

Filter or Right, go to 'search within results' type in -/reader like that, click 'sort and filter'. No more /reader

"I don't want explicit works"

You know where we're going Right or filter. 'Exclude' section. 'Ratings' click the box that says 'explicit'

Obviously if people don't tag shit correctly it's not gonna work but yeah you just gotta learn how the tagging works. For better tutorials go to TikTok and search 'ao3 tutorials' you can do just about everything.

#ao3 #fanfic #like you can change 99% of the site to fit you.#i have ao3 link made into a icon on my phone that goes to a version of a fandom tag thats got all the ships and shit i dont like excluded #archive of our own #like the people who hate ao3s tagging system and the people who don't wanna learn ao3s tagging system is a circle #theirs a learning curve my friend and onece you have a bit of knowledge you can do anything #knowledge is power #fandom #fanfic readers #its 2am go be free use ao3 #you dont pop out the woomb with all knowledge you gotta learn sometime. same goes for this. go find a teacher (not me) to teach you.#you have leaned addition subtraction division grammer spelling and you can learn this too. go learn.#you can do dark mode. you can make the cite purple. you can add cows. you can change y/n to your name. you just gotta learn

Siffrin plays Disco Elysium AU: Featuring backseat gamer Loop.

#in stars and time #ISAT #Siffrin #Loop #disco elysium #digital art #When I first thought of a crossover I went from 1) 'ISAT Disco AU but Loop is all of the skills'#To: 2) 'Loop is in the mindspace alongside the skills #To my magnum opus: 3)'Loop is sitting next to Siffrin backseat gaming him the whole time.'#Loop beat Disco Elysium ages ago and repeated it to the point they know all the vision quests and dialogue variables.#Siffrin just started playing and Loop keeps ruining the fun by using their meta-game knowledge to try and help.#Also let's be real. Siffrin's stats are 100% completely focused into motorics and nothing else.#If we can't Savoir Faire ourselves of this situation - we will explode. Endurance? Call my insurance instead.#Thinking skills? None. Emotional intelligence and morale? A failed social interaction canonically feels like death to them.#I might have bumped Phys up but...Siffrin's Electrochem stat is like -10. And Pain Threshold is emotional durability too.#Unused part of this joke is that I set their signature skill to Drama.#Both these games made my brain melt so now I get to combine them! I have that power!#This joke made me laugh the entire 3 hours I sat down and drew it and that is what creation should be about.

This advertisement is for The Atlas Complex—the heart-shattering finale to the dark academia series that began with Olivie Blake’s NYT bestselling The Atlas Six.

WHAT’S IT ABOUT

An explosive return to the library leaves the six Alexandrians vulnerable to the lethal terms of their recruitment.

Knowledge Is Carnage

Old alliances fracture as those who remain within the archives wrestle with the ethics of their astronomical abilities. Elsewhere, an unlikely pair from the Society partner up to influence politics on a global stage while the outside world mobilizes to destroy them all. And as for the Society’s Caretaker, Atlas Blakely… He may yet succeed in his world-breaking plan.

Destiny Is a Choice

It all comes down to this: The Society recruits must decide what and who they're willing to betray and destroy for limitless power.

Power Is Taken

inspired by @starriegalaxy and our conversations that go nowhere because she goes and does this to me:

she does this to me on the regular guys

(also to pair with Starrie's "At My LimitTM" post)

but where is Moon's hat, you might ask?

in the claws of the victor, of course

#fnaf moon #fear factor au #mutual shenanigans #it is common knowledge that if you take a Moon's hat #you take his power #that is why Moon is looking so head empty up there #i have stolen his power #and i will do it again #crab art #traditional art #bright colours
