Why then, does ignorance keep increasing?

It totally violates the laws of entropy.

Ah Grasshopper,

You are mistaking stupidity for ignorance, a common mistake and easy to do. The "litmus" test is whether the person you are attempting to grace with your wisdom does not stop talking and actually listen when you are speaking and does he/she then respond by rephrasing the original question? If either or both of these is true I'm afraid you are facing invincible stupidity rather than mere ignorance and are therefore wasting your time. The correct response under these circumstances is "I'm sorry, I thought you were merely ignorant. But now I see you are truly unfathomably stupid and therefore beyond my help. I suggest you wear a sign that says "I'm Stupid" to save everyone's time in the case of future conversations."

Regards,
GtG

PS I did say "stupidity knows no bounds and is therefore infinite". That implies that there is more then enough to go around.
