F.: (Having completed the series on the Absolute, responses to some e-mails can now be posted. Thx for your patience.)
From a site visitor: “You badmouth knowledge by calling it learned ignorance, but I believe that planet earth is a school where we’re taught by those who came before and where we teach those who come after us. That is our purpose.”
F.: Sorry to challenge your perception that what is actually happening spontaneously on this planet has some noble purpose, but earth is not a school. It is an insane asylum that is currently filled to almost 95% capacity. The 95% who are completely insane as a result of programming, conditioning, and enculturation are passing on their fictional religious and spiritual knowledge (which constitutes the majority of the “learned ignorance”) and are thereby spreading their insanity. [Over 93% of the persons on the earth claim a religious affiliation for themselves and also assign that same affiliation to their offspring. For those who believe that “millions can’t be wrong,” please visit

and read response #2.] One concession will be made: to the degree that 93-95% are being taught lies as truth, you are correct. Persons are being “schooled” in nonsense and non-facts and being convinced that the insane fiction that they have been taught is rational and factual. Few will ever hear the pointers required for them to be rid of their learned ignorance and then be restored to sanity.
Next, what benefit could possibly be derived from learning the erroneous, myth-based lies that persons are taught by “those who came before?” What benefit could possibly be derived from teaching the erroneous myth-based lies to “those who come after us”? And WHO do you think exists that could benefit from anything? Do you not know that your belief in concepts like "those" and "who" are also part of the learned ignorance? What would be known is already known, within, but has been forgotten because it is obscured by layer upon layer of learned ignorance. Cast aside the fog of ideas and concepts and the truth that can be found within will be seen clearly. Please enter the silence of contemplation.
