ENDING IGNORANCE

THE END OF THE AGE OF IGNORANCE 

For years, millennia actually, the world has been populated by bears: many different types of bears that have filled the pages of memorable world literature, both in the fictional world of children’s stories and the enlightening, ignorance-curbing nonfiction of biology textbooks and bear-crossing street signs.  But such noble attempts of heroic humans to chronicle (much like the Scribes of Old) the greatness of bears have only managed to put a mere dent in societal ignorance; despite bears’ prominence, longevity, and variety, the world still has never known which bear is the best.  

But those ignorant days of global history are almost over.   

Before we get on our high horse for having such well-rounded-wheel technology, we should first thank an Ancient Mesopotamian for inventing it, and then consider what silly obvious thing we lack in our current day and age, for no era can be said to be perfect.  

Our epoch’s great blemish, as noted above, is the absence of knowledge of which bear is the world’s best.  We know who won the Super Bowl last year, we know who won the World Series, we know who won the Stanley Cup, we know who won the World Cup, we know what the best website is, and we know who the fastest human is because we know who won gold in the 100 meter sprint.  It is true that we do not know who won the race walking events, but no one cares.

But people do care about bears, yet somehow we still don’t know which is the best.  As a society, we should be embarrassed (mostly that some children go to bed at night without proper food, but also about this bear evaluation situation).   

So we should feed the children, and also figure out who the world’s best bear is.   

Once we have that knowledge, we will then naturally exit the Age of Ignorance and enter the Age of Knowledge; we can only wonder what possibilities such a wonderful Age will bring.  

One thing it will definitely bring: knowledge of which bear is the world’s best.  Once that knowledge is obtained, we might wonder how it might help foster world peace, end hunger, or make your family love and accept you for who you are.  

But let’s hold our horses.  We don’t want to get swept away with such wonderful possibilities and, as they say, put the cart before the horse.  That is what they must have been doing back in the Stone Age, before they had wheels and thus probably why they never had Amazon Prime Delivery: you can’t make it anywhere in two days if the cart is blocking the horse (citation: Pony Express methods never included putting the cart in front of the pony, and ponies are closely related to horses, so the same cart-positioning rules should apply).  

With the cart finally in the right position in regards to the horse (and pony) and a felicitous poll developed to properly rank bears, we can now look forward with great hope and optimism to the oncoming Age of Knowledge and expedite its arrival by voting as often as possible in the World Famous Sweet Livin’ Productions World’s Best Bear Poll.  Any actions to the contrary, would be simply ignorant.  

Don’t be ignorant.   

If you are pro-ignorance, while you are unfortunately in the right era–-our current Age of Ignorance–-you will be on the wrong side of history and be left behind when we enter the impending Age of Knowledge.  Such ignorance-advocacy also naturally puts you on the wrong website as you are ignorant of the fact that sweetlivinproductions.com is an enlightening website that ignorance has tried to stop through making people not know about us (citation: low website traffic levels).  When the Age of Ignorance is over and the Age of Knowledge has arrived, sweetlivinproductions.com will have high traffic levels.  That’s how human progress works (citation: SSTI; Darwin).
