“Ignorance in Action”

Not sure how impressed Goethe would be with present-day U.S. politics.

We grow ignorance as if it’s corn; we cultivate it like we would a clone of a fabulous pinot noir; we nurture it as if it were a newborn baby.

And the reason is simple.  Big Money doesn’t gain a nickel from the presence of a more sophisticated, more informed, better educated populace.
