The great epidemic of our time. I’m coining this phrase to describe the ridiculous thoughts that spew from the stewing brain matter of some of our elected officials: evolution is “just a theory,” the government is unconstitutional, CO2 is good for you, guns make you safer, prayer works, gay people are evil,  etc, etc… 

Any assertion that flies in the face of all rationality, any idea that is so laughably wrong and so easily disputed but is still presented as absolute truth without any negative ramifications for the messenger – this is un-knowledge. And it is absolutely killing us. It is our biggest enemy, and it is slowly destroying any hope we may have of recovering as a society.

My hope is that, after future generations have picked up the smoldering pieces of what remains of civilization, the 8 people who remain will look back and say, “Man – they all had a LOT of unknowledge. We should probably not repeat that.”
