Socrates once said something to the effect, I know that I know nothing for a certainty, and that makes me the wisest man of all men. I am wisest, for I acknowledge my ignorance.
Are you arguing that it is better that we have no awareness of our own ignorance, or that we could ever become wise without understanding our own limitations?

It wasn’t and argument, it was a question. Perhaps you have difficulty understanding the difference.
I would suggest, however, that B-Chan, and his sycophants, apparently believe ignorance is more important than knowledge, because it is what they always emphasize. No one believes everything is known or even can be known. What seems to be missed by the ignorance worshipers is, not knowing everything is not the same as not knowing anything.
Question: do you believe we know anything? If you do, how do we know it?
