Love the writing!
I strongly feel that actually living life without trying to be clever about it is the true path to happiness.
Perhaps those so called ignorant people actually understand the fact that there is no path to happiness in terms of trying to pursue what this life is all about,
Instead these ignorant people just live, they breath, take care of their families and just make the most of it.
Calling fellow human beings ignorant is ignorance itself, it shows that clever people you are quoting think they have figured the world out themselves.
Yet they have isolated themselves by doing so..... very clever!
Ignorant people may laugh or cry because of instincts, for no particular good reason, perhaps they laugh because they don't worry about it being funny. Perhaps they cry just because they feel like it for no good reason,
Perhaps life should be like that.
It is for good reason why so called smart people are generally less happy.
It seems we have been given the tools to make something of this planet, yet we keep wondering why and how this place can exists and to what purpose?
The more we think about the more it drives us mad.
Perhaps we are the very cause of this chaos, by thinking to much and acting too little.
I say stop worrying about it, enjoy learning new stuff but don't make your life work out of it, for as it is unlikely we will figure it out.
Can you imagine spending your whole life trying to figure out how a certain God particle works and perhaps you will then find out in the afterlife that it was all a simulation. The world might not even be real.
In the meantime let's focus on the things that may reduce entropie.
Like helping each other, showing love and be less damn greedy!
