What if? Thoughts Scenario Paranoia & Observations

What we call knowledge is merely another form of Ignorance—highly organized, of course, and eminently scientific, but for that very reason all the more complete, all the more productive of angry apes. When Ignorance was merely ignorance, we were the equivalents of lemurs, marmosets, and howler monkeys. Today, thanks to that Higher Ignorance which is our knowledge, man’s stature has increased to such an extent that the least among us is now a baboon, the greatest an orangutan or even, if he takes rank as a Savior of Society, a true Gorilla.
