School teaches you that ignorance is shameful, rather than being a person’s default AND ENTIRELY FIXABLE state. Sucks the fun outta learning, if you let it.

I may have posted something to this effect before, but it bears repeating if so: This is a marvelous way of looking at the world, and may be one of the best lessons Randall Munroe has ever taught us. It certainly prompted a change in my own behavior. “You’re one of today’s lucky 10,000″ leads to a lot more fun in life than “What do you mean you don’t know about _____?”

Also, saying, “How can you not know about ____?!” makes you kind of a jerk. Just sayin’.

Yet this site thrives on “You suck for not knowing about this this thing that LITERALLY JUST HAPPENED and/or not sharing it with the same outrage at those who are still ignorant.”
