Massive changes are taking place in almost every area of life imaginable.

Countries, governments, companies, groups and individuals are rising and falling like ninepins.

Change at such a rate is destabilizing and creating chaos throughout the world and in our daily lives, yet we are seeing astonishing quality in products and production.

Millions are out of work as old industries retrench and downsize; yet some executives earn multi-million dollar salaries.

Massive layoffs are occurring almost weekly. At the same time, thousands of new, lower-paying jobs are being created, also weekly.

Our own and others’ lives are under constant onslaught by these changes. Some workers are lucky and get higher-paying jobs, but most are unlucky and get lower paying or no jobs.

Those that manage to get higher-paying jobs and those multi-million dollar executives have moved into the new cultural wave of Knowledgism.

Knowledgism is the high-tech, high-touch use of knowledge systems, processes and procedures to optimize economies, societies, areas, subjects, objects, groups, and individuals, and to help their utilizations, quality and viability for the greatest good of all. It is based on win-win accomplishment for all, and includes that which is best from past systems.

As Knowledgism expands it will cross national boundaries and those of race, color, and creed.

A Knowledgist studies, practices and applies knowledge for the greatest good of everyone, including themselves.

Knowledge has become not only the power of today’s society, but the basis for prosperity in the future. In the coming years, the rewards for being knowledgeable will be vast, the penalties for ignorance, severe.

An Ignorantist will be the new lower class.

Definition:

IGNORANCE: n. The state or condition of ignoring or not knowing.

IGNORE: v. tr. To refuse to perceive or know.

Ignorantism is the low-tech, abusive-touch hatred of knowledge systems, processes and procedures that optimize economies, societies, areas, subjects, objects, groups, and individuals.

It hinders, counters, or destroys utilizations, quality, and viability of societies, areas, subjects, objects, groups, and individuals, and prevents or sabotages the greatest good for the greatest number.

Ignorantists are stuck in their own selfishness and fixed ideas. They fear knowledge and they fear those who have knowledge. They laugh at and ridicule those who study and learn.
