Ignorance is a Virtue

I remember a coworker and I involved in a federal enforcement action many years ago. The subjects involved in the violations were not very educated. In the dialogue we had with these folks, we became aware that they seemed to celebrate ignorance. We coined the phase that they "held to ignorance as if it was a virtue".

I think Carl Sagan's foresight was astonishing.
