reading this text i found that it is on deliberating what motivated peoples willingness to ignore certain things and how we may go about fixing it. The author summarizes his answer and findings by saying that peoples choices are formed by what they know and how they learned it as well as the cost and benefit of finding out more.
The author also makes a comment saying that ignorance has costs and benefits, in previous classes specifically ones that have to do with social sciences of literature i have read much into the topic of ignorance and choosing not to pick sides and how these are the greatest perils of our population.
