The Effects of Ignorance On the Brain, Introduction

Edit: I don't even remember why I started this, but in retrospect is seems stupid. CANCELED!@@@

Ignorance, by definition, is "a lack of knowledge, or a willful lack of desire to improve the efficiency, merit, effectiveness or usefulness of one's actions."

Ignorance has spread rampantly, like an infection disease, to the corners of the Internet and in real life (although I the people on the Internet fits into the "real life" category). The effects it has on the mental and physical state haven't exactly been examined closely enough to make ignorance an actual disease, but that may be changed after the World Health Organization reads this essay.

The experiment is to see what effects direct contact with ignorance has on the brain, and on the body itself if discovered to do so. The following will be written in a journal format, telling the results of each day to see if any changes have occurred, and also to see if my typing abilities have also been affected by direct contact with ignorance.

The test subject (dependent variable), as you might expect, is me, and I will have direct contact with ignorance (independent variable), as I have already said. After testing my current intelligence, typing abilities, and other info to see if the effects are actually changing, I will see specialized doctors to tell me about what I'll be doing and what effects might occur.

I will most likely respond to any queries you might have, and if I missed any important info I need to mention, please remind me of so.

The experiment will begin in a few days. Wish me luck.

I look forward to your mind-blowing results.

Good luck, don't die/catch on fire, etc.

I hope I don't.

Also, since it seems that you are the only person so far to take interest in this, and you happen to be more popular. Would you mind promoting this a little? I think the results of this experiment might blow people's fucking minds into the 5th-dimension (if I manage to survive).

I've seen you on the forums several times, back when I was Platinum.

You have a brilliant mind.

bigexplosions 2007-07-20 00:27:51

You were Platinum? I never would of known.

Good luck and God speed, Sir!

Intelligence? On Newgrounds?
Shouldn't the two cancel eachother out?

Intriguing, I consider ignorance of the mind a horrible thing, and finding a cure, or merely helping fight against it, well just know you have my support. Seen you on the forums a few times, smarter than the average 13 year old obviosly.

Do you not go to General much anymore? I've missed seeing you around ever since I stopped going to the Flash forums.

It seems you have succumbed to the ignorance.

I pray for your safe return, my sweet prince.

I can guarantee you first hand that this will work. Before I moved to Florida, I had little experience around the Christian Fanatics that is the entirety of this state. After a few years, I find myself saying all sorts of crap I have never said before, such as 'Oh my God!' Beyond that, I rarely admit now to anyone that I am not a religious person, as doing so is, as the Angst-Filled teenagers of our time say, 'Social Suicide.'

Good luck.

You're back! :D, Hope you remember me...or not.

hi there

Although I do agree with your idea on the infectious disease comparison to ignorance, that do also say, Ignorance Is Bliss. To become completely ignorant, which, is as i theorise, impossible, because you would need at least some merit of considerable concentration to achieve that state. And then that defeats the purpose of complete ignorance. The test subject, being yourself, will need to set himself specialized goals, and for this essay that you will be writing to make it to the World Health Organization it will need to pass by local, state and national levels of essay writing. I give somewhat a considerable amount of interest to your cause. When i actually think about ignorance and it's effect on physical and mental capabilities, there is quite a bit i can come up with. Ignorance will definitely effect mental capability, and that is obvious alongside the fact that ignorance is a state of mental existance in itself, obsolete as it may be. To actually write a detailed, medically attributed essay on ignorance, you may need more than one test subject. I suspect that this will require a lot more than one person working on himself to completely cover all corners of this subject. All factors of a medical subject have to be considered, tried, dismissed or included. These specialized doctors will give some of the medical creditability that you will need for your essay to reach the World Health Organization. Of course, worst-case scenario that the essay does not end up under the eyes of the Health Organization. What will happen to the essay then, and what will it's medical purpose be if this happens? Please reply, as i have said before i am interested in this subject. If you don't, then, ironically, large amounts of ignorance have covered this site as well, and i will reluctantly dismiss the subject of Ignorance.
