If someone is ignorant and rejects/refuses information that would change that is he/she also stupid/dumb?

Why would any reasonable person prefer to remain ignorant rather than become knowledgeable?

      Why do you reject the information that you CONSTANTLY exclude necessary commas that separate clauses in the majority of the sentences you post (as in the one above that is missing the comma)?

      Oh, wait, could it be that you do so because it's unimportant to you?  Gee, I guess that answers your question: people reject things that they find unimportant.

  • Knowledge without wisdom is a dangerous thing. Knowledge tempered by wisdom is reason. A person can be knowledgeable and ignorant. Therefore preference in the matter is irrelevant.
