Knowledge & Ignorance In The 21st Century

Source: The Findings Substack
by Paul Rosenberg

“Since roughly 2005 nearly the whole of human knowledge has been available almost anywhere, any time, at a negligible cost, and yet almost nothing has changed. And so conventional wisdom regarding knowledge and ignorance, beliefs that dominated the 20th century, have been exposed as incorrect. To be clear, I should explain that the conventional wisdom I refer to is the assumption that problems are caused by ignorance, that more knowledge in more brains will fix them and that smart and educated people almost necessarily behave better.” (09/23/25)
