Tell me how ignorant you are?

Question

While studying history, I learned that Austria and Germany are of the same race. "How is that possible?" I asked. Australia is far away and on an independent continent. It turns out it's not a shortened version of Australia, but two separate countries.

That's funny! Life is humbling isn't it. I knew that, but there's a lot I don't know and so much I don't know that I don't know. Even with a supercomputer in my hand I still discover. Ask myself... if the power grid was turned off what world would I be living in... what level could I get back to? I'd probably live like the 1600's.

I once thought cows milk came out of one of their stomachs. you don't know until you dive deeper and learn.

Even more fun to learn is emotion, what was going on that lead to the decisions and choices...

Learning is fun, just realize... it's all folly. Worship Jesus and live in love. That's what you should know if you don't.

Let me help to complete the picture by telling you that you‘ll find the same German (ic) people also in Switzerland, Luxemburg and Liechtenstein. 🙂
Austria vs. Australia is a classic in American travel mishaps, though. There are several Austrian airports that sell t-shirts and buttons with „No kangaroos here!“ 😂

Ignorant: lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated.

In some areas I am very ignorant. Politics, religion, social settings. There is just a lot I do not understand and it makes no sense to me.

Some think I'm just a typical dreamy, airhead, dumb blonde and yes, I am dreamy, I often run off chasing butterflies, so to speak, but I know I am not dumb. I just see things differently than most people. And I have learned being different isn't a bad thing at all.

A lot of people, especially americans, make the same mistake regarding Sweden and Switzerland for some reason. Also not the same country, at all.

I took a geology course and there was a black guy in his 30s who couldn't find Africa on a map. He was a super nice guy. I tried to help him. He just hadn't been taught any geography. But I was shocked that a black guy couldn't identify the continent of Africa.

I think of those videos where they go out on the street and ask random people questions. The questions are super easy but so many people are clueless.

I have average intelligence, but I'm way less ignorant than average. I know lots of stuff that most people don't know.

Not very ignorant at all , but I can be to someone that is disrespectful and ignorant to me , I usually treat people the same way they treat me , if someone is nice to me or polite to me , I will do the same in return , if someone is disrespecting to me or an asshole to me , I will do the same thing in return , as far as Germany And Austria , they are pretty much right next to each other , watch the musical movie The Sound of music 😊

I am as ignorant gets at its finest I was literally born to parents in Mexico literally were a bunch of Europeans killed a bunch of indigenous. My mom confessed she could only drink 🥴🥴🥴 when I wasn't born. I am ignorant mostly in anything that has to do with school. I come from a family so ignorant that if there's a argument they'll probably kill each other with hammers, knife s, machetes and probably won't call the police. but only in mexico 🥴🥴.

Everyone is ignorant about most things. If told to fully breakdown the constituent elements of literally anything & all of us would struggle to do so & get much wrong.

Ignoring the subjective nature of the word, it's still not physically possible for a brain to be big enough & intelligent enough to not contain any ignorance. I think that our intelligence is a byproduct of how we evolved & nothing more. I don't believe we're here to avoid ignorance.

@red-lipstick-girl  Oh thank you for such a giggle. I'm not THAT ignorant of geography but ask me about expression of emotions and expect puzzled looks and shrugs.

Lionman95 · Answer

Do you mean Austria or Australia? You first mentioned Austria then you talk about Australia so I´m confused now.

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

Lmaoo fuck I feel that one.

I met a Ukranian guy the other day and we were talking about Serbia and I was like "oh that's near hungry right" because I thought the accent sounded like my friend shows bulgerian which apparently is also nowhere near Serbia and so this guy's not helping me out at all and I start blasting off guesses and probably none of them were anything close at all.

whiskeyontherocks · Answer

We all start somewhere and ignorance is just a learning opportunity
Even now with all the books and podcasts I listen to I still find new and interesting things to learn
Everyone is ignorant to some degree actively filling the void is what really matters.

Yes, but part of that might be because English is not your first language. And tremendously, on my part.

Ignorance is only a bliss if it's fit to the situation. In terms of general knowledge I don't think I'm handicapped

RavVid · Answer

Don't feel bad. If the print is fine or I am scanning I can misread Austria as Australia.

The perverse thing is Australia derives from Southern Land whilst Austria derives from Eastern land. I think we should make Austria change it's name.
