John Deak

People think of ignorance as an enemy, something that knowledge strives to conquer, but we think of it as what fuels knowledge. Ignorance drives us to learn more, and for everything we learn, we find just as much that we don’t know. It’s a perpetual knowledge machine. The collision of knowledge and ignorance create reactions that propel us forward.
