   Is that like brandy on fire over cherries jubilee is better than brandy on ice? But is it really?

   Wow, not only is it a platitude rather than a fortune, but it’s also wrong. I’m pretty sure underutilized knowledge is far less dangerous than overutilized ignorance.

   I don’t know… there are times when a flaming idiot can be much more entertaining…

   Ignorance on fire is more DESTRUCTIVE than knowledge on ice

    With a platitide like that, is it safe to eat the cookie?

    It depends on the ignorance. An invincibly ignorant Catholic on fire is a lot better then a Catholic theologian that doesn’t pray or go to mass. One can at least claim ignorance to grave sin and has the possibility of being catechized, the other may be in trouble when St. Peter checks his I.D.

    @Random Friar,

    Your assertion would depend, I think, upon where one draws the line between entertainment and Schadenfreude, or at least on how willing one is to be entertained by a walking disaster.

    After all, ignorance on fire is but one (very short) step removed from incendiary stupidity.

    The first thing to come into my mind:

    “Some say the world will end in fire
    Some say in ice.
    From what I have tasted of desire,
    I hold with those who favor fire.

    But if it had to perish twice,
    I think I know enough of hate
    To say that for destruction ice
    Is also great, and would suffice.”

    Some say the world will end in fire Some say in ice.
    Fire + Ice = Frost
