A learned fool is an arrogant highly educated person that refuses correction, because they thing they are "smarter than you". A ignorant fool still has hope if they lose their ignorance.

It means that those who have an education and choose to be ignorant, are worse then those who do not know any better.

it means if you're educated and still an idiot you have no excuse... where as an idiot who hasn't been educated has an excuse.

Since it's grammatically incorrect, it's impossible to say what it means accurately.

Moliere... You quoted it wrong then... You forgot the 'a'. Seems insignificant but it's extremely important...

“A learned fool is more a fool than an ignorant fool.”

[LittleSally]

In other words: ignorance is bliss...

Not complicated at all.

'A learned fool' means those who have knowledge but never have their thought.

So any stupid thing they're gonna do or say may not be easily perceived by people around due to we thinking they have that knowledge.

In reality, there are a lot of those kinds of 'A learned fool' we aren't aware of.
