Society is kept very ignorant intellectually because most people are alike. While one person might be suffering one of society's elements another may be enjoying their wealth or status due to this same element. As long as we keep ourselves in the cave we can't truly understand the other side of the equation. We must venture out of part of society and see what's going on and realize what has been missing. Most people expect someone else to give them insight and knowledge for them. As a member of society insight must be discovered on our own. It's our responsibility to question and be skeptical, not your mentor, parent, church or government.

I think social inequality makes people ignorant because people get canceled out by others who think they’re better and usually the people who think they’re better than everyone think they know a lot, when they actually aren’t very smart at all, while the less popular people have a lot of knowledge from sitting back and watching.
Also when people care more about their social life and friends and partying they tend to not pay as much attention in classes so since they’re popular, they think they know everything about everything, when they really don’t know much because they dont take the time to improve themselves.
People who are less popular sometimes want to gain popularity do there’s always peer pressure. And they’re pressured to do bad things making it unequal because they ‘can’t have friends because they’re a nerd’

I think the lack of resources to become educated will keep individuals ignorant. An politically some governments might find it beneficial to keep the general public ignorant to what their lives might be like if they lived in a different country with a different type of government.
