"Do not read medical books! You could die of a misprint." - Mark Twain
Our collective intelligence feat is astounding. No questions.
Yet with all its glorious benefits, we have lost something precious in the process. Our ignorance.
Yes, some 6000 days back, we didn't have the affordance to know an astounding range of things, so easily.
But, today there is no such limit to the topic that one could learn by skimming for a few short minutes. But, such skimming would miss the subtle.
...and we are collectively blissfully unaware of our incompetence. A Classic case of Dunning Kruger Effect.
Ignorance is good. Celebrate it. Otherwise, we would commit blunders similar to what Mark Twain refers to.
