    series of phrases in and of their self simply suggests that it is better to have no knowledge of something, then to worry about it, and while the definitions alone seems very elementary, I assure you they are in no way so. Today, we live in a world where we as humans coincide with some of the most exceptional and advanced innovations ever created, and yet, a huge percentage of the population is comprised of those who are intellectually lacking. The reasoning behind this is all but unclear to me,…
