Ah Plato’s Cave.
As with the Matrix, once you take the pill how do you know you are in the real world? There is no turning around to see what makes the shadows. So there will always be ignorance. There is no returning to the cave because you can never leave it.
I can only guess at why people suffer from knowledge. Perhaps the search for knowledge is like turning of the light and being in left in darkness. At first one is almost blind, seeing a shape there, a movement here and none of it makes any sense. So one panics and runs turns the light back on. But as one delves into darkness patterns start to appear or perhaps the eyes start to adjust and things don’t seem all that frightening anymore. But that's a very rough sketch.
