Chomsky on ignorance

두 종류의 무지:

The linguist Noam Chomsky once suggested that our ignorance can be devided into problems and mysteries. When we face a problem, we may not know its solution, but we have insight, increasing knowledge, and an inkling of what we are looking for. When we face a mystery, however, we can only stare in wonder and bewilderment, not knowing what an explanation would even look like. —pix, How the mind works
