Type 2 Ignorance

ANGLICANS ONLINE - In medical books, we note descriptions of two kinds of diabetes: Type 1, in which the victim's body does not produce enough insulin, and Type 2, in which the insulin is produced but the victim's body does not use it. In thinking about the relationship between ignorance and fear, we've thought for a while that perhaps there were two kinds of ignorance: Type 1 ignorance, in which the victim's brain does not receive enough knowledge, and Type 2 ignorance, in which the knowledge is delivered but the victim's brain does not use it. We're certain that, even in this modern world a full millennium past the end of the Dark Ages, that Type 2 ignorance has risen to meet the need for a breeding ground for bogeymen. Alas, there are generally medicines that one can take to remediate Type 2 diabetes; O that there could be a pill to control Type 2 ignorance!
