Three Persons Of Ignorance

Me, You and the Organization.

This is based on the Five Levels Of Ignorance which I recap the bullet points:

Level 0: Knowledge
Level 1: Ignorance with Awareness
Level 2: Ignorance without Awareness
Level 3: Ignorance without Awareness or even a means of becoming aware
Level 4: Ignorance of the Five Levels

Not stated is that, these levels apply to an individual person and were described in the first person. That is the First Person of Ignorance, oneself. The Second Person of Ignorance is another person. Before stating last and controversial entity, lets digress.

The first and second persons are people, they are capable of ignorance because they are capable of knowledge. This is because ignorance is the lack of knowledge. Only something capable of knowledge could be ignorant. A rock is not ignorant simply because it cannot know.

Which brings us to the controversial Third Person of Ignorance, the organization. That is any company, group or collection of people where the members identify themselves as part of the company, group or collection. I will gloss over the difficulty here by contending while an organization may not be capable of knowledge, but it often acts as if it does.
