  Okay, was the voting down because I posted this, or in response to the article? Just curious since no one explained...

  I’m new to reading this blog and am slowly going through the sequences. Eliezer, I’m enjoying your writings a lot and they are really helping to change my way of thinking.

  A thought I had while reading this and figured I’d ask for other thoughts:

  To worship a phenomenon because it seems so wonderfully mysterious, is to worship your own ignorance.

  I know people who are perfectly content to “worship their own ignorance.” Why do you think they don’t value knowing enough to go further? Is it just because they have hit a semantic roadblock and don’t realize it?
