“Where ignorance is bliss, ’tis folly to be wise.” -Thomas Gray

But what of the cost of your ignorance on other people? If your blissful ignorance causes others to suffer, is it worth it to you? What does the exchange rate look like? Does your small amount of bliss cost others a large amount of suffering?

“Out of sight, out of mind”

But is it out of existence? Or is it in the sight and in the minds of those it harms?

“What you don’t know can’t hurt you.”

But can it hurt others? And can it furtively hurt you as well?
