Insane Clown Posse, Ignorance IS Bliss.

According to Detroit band Insane Clown Posse and their latest music video, Ignorance IS Bliss.

Not knowing your grade school science and the concept that the refraction of light on water droplets form rainbows makes those rainbows “A Miracle”. “blow your brain,” from “the Milky Way and fucking shooting stars” to “long-necked giraffes” to “fucking rainbows.” The biggest punch line in the video is when one of these Bozos exclaims “Fucking magnets, how do they work?”  WOW! Imaging being proud of the fact you don’t know this, and so proud of it to but it in a video for all to see.

Sad to say but NOT knowing shit has become very popular with a certain segment of society.  You see it in hillbilly types who will shun “Book learn’en” and their polar opposites Rappers. The deeply religious are finding their precious bible stories of creation and Adam and Eve being relegated to quaint  bed time stories by the science of evolution and cosmology.  So it becomes a situation of not knowing these cold enlightened studies and accepting the warm folktales.

Writing stuff off as a miracle is a form of intellectual laziness.  If something shooting stars is too hard for you to understand and would require reading a book or forgoing the entertainment of a latest music video to find out they’re  chunks of rock heated to blazing temperatures by the friction of the atmosphere as they’re  pulled towards the Earth, why take the trouble?  Write it off as a great mystery.

Well luckily Cracked.com has created a dumbed down science book for ICP Juggalos.  Lots of pictures for the cognitive challenged.
