I have been hearing that a lot for some reason. Whats it supposed to mean, what is it revering to specifically. It has to have an origin, I think I read it in George Orwell's 1984, but it might have been ignorance is strength.

It means the less you know the better it is for you.
Sometimes it's true, sometimes it's not.

Ignorance is bliss because if we know everything about the world around us, it would be dull, because we already know everything. Whilst, if we do not know everything, like as of now, it is much more interesting as we discover many new things.
For example: You get a new toy, you're of course, going to be excited and happy. You get an old toy you used to have, and now it seems not as interesting anymore.

Or if you know about something (just an example) IE Aliens about to invade.
Your life would be crap because you'd be stressing until they invaded. Then it would be even more crap because your corpse would be dematerializing into crap. |

Let me have men about me that are fat, Sleek-headed men and such as sleep a-nights. Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look, He thinks too much; such men are dangerous.

| No, it's bliss because once you're a genius you will be рissed off at everyone because they're stupid. And some things are better left unknown. |

No, actually, I tend to agree with him.
Despite how pretentious I'm being, stupid people make me angry. |

No. You'd know EVERYTHING. You'd know how to stop them. You'd know how to make the world turn around in your favor. You'll know how to make the biggest corporation on the planet. You'll know how to make a colonial base on the moon. You'll know how to invent the most alien structures / technology.

| We're definitely not, but I doubt aliens will find us soon, or we'll find them soon. |

>Ignorance is bliss. Knowing too much will overwork your mind.
--That's not the way I see it.
>No, it's bliss because once you're a genius you will be рissed off at everyone because they're stupid.
--Bingo. Ignorance is the lack of knowledge. Having knowledge that others lack is frustrating, especially when the ones who lack that knowledge refuse to believe it. This is why it's very frustrating to talk to close-minded people. They're stuck in quicksand, yet won't even let you throw them a rope because they believe they are swimming in an oasis.

--Did some bitter debate happen recently or something?
