We need to be smart about what ‘dumbs us down.’ In other words, being ignorant is not so much an art, as it is a science….and in this day and age, what we don’t know really is killing us. From the disaster of Flint’s water crisis to the current climate debates – why common sense is far from common, and why common sense is not very accurate anyway!
