Ignorance is bliss (idea)

Is ignorance a good thing? Sometimes, perhaps. Sometimes a piece of knowledge is useful, others might be inherently useless and serve no practical purpose. Sometimes being aware of certain fact might leave you in an overall worse position than not knowing it. When the later two (useless and harmful) are true, perhaps you are better not knowing it.

• You will sleep better not knowing what goatse is, for example. *shudder*
• Being aware of your breathing -or even worse, knowing that you are aware of your breathing (it's confusing, I know)- tends to make you breath manually, which is uncomfortable. If you have read enough about it, it can even make your head itch and The Final Countdown play in your head.
• Not knowing about The Game is probably the best way of not playing The Game; thus, your ignorance means that you will never Lose The Game.

So yeah.
