So if you refuse to listen and learn about why the sky is blue that means you believe otherwise; let’s say you believe it is black. By not willing to except that the sky is blue you are expected by yourself and others to prove the valididty of your belief that it is black. So the willful act of not learning is a willful act to learn the opposite.

I have a few reasons for this. First of all, something will always be "wrong" with society even with complete freedom. (A perfect, or Utopian, society is impossible on earth.) Secondly, people will always think. They will always want better things and ways to live life by. This will cause thinking and thinking will possibly even bring revolution. Finally, I think that complete freedom does bring thinking. @mosquitodemon13:

It focused upon that all education and learning is good, however this is something that I disagree with. In the first paragraph, the writer mentions learning as a person consciously removing themselves from ignorance and then moves onto say that ignorance is the lack of knowledge. What the author forgets, is to define the knowledge they are speaking of. Generally, knowledge fits into two categories: the two dimensional and the three dimensional. Two dimensional knowledge is knowledge that you usually learn in school and generally is used only in a controlled environment. For example, math although it defines many of the laws in our universe, only the basic theorems of it work in the real world, such as addition, subtraction, and division. (The things that you are actually going to use) Many aspects of geometry and algebra don't fit into reality. Thy don't consider the idea of the chaos factor. Basically, they only work in a completely enclosed, unrelating environment. They don't cover anything random that can happen, and so have no real stance in our world. On the other hand is three dimensional knowledge, knowledge of how our world really works. It can not be identified by certain rules, but is simply what is and what can happen. It is general and constricting. For example are the ideas and guidelines written in one of the world's oldest military manuals: The Art of War by Sun Tzu. Military tactics has always been a part of the world that is completely undefined except for the basic dos and don'ts, which if the occasion arises can be broken. So much for knowledge.

I agree that thinking needs an outside force to direct it, but why do you believe that complete freedom will not bring about thinking? Anarchy, yes. Learning without comprehension, yes. But total freedom? Why would that not bring a person to think? Very nice post! I really like how you’ve gone with this.
