“A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep.”
Saul Bellow
It means that when the price of knowledge is too great or too painful to bear, people will use their intelligence to talk themselves out of facing that knowledge. In a nutshell, it’s easier to choose to remain ignorant or unaware of a hard truth, than to face that truth and have to deal with the consequences of it. In an even smaller nutshell: Ignorance is Bliss.
