Happiness or Knowledge?

'Misinformed' begs that there are correct things to hear, and that you have heard wrong. It suggests any fault lies with the informer. Unlike ‘malinformed’, the word feels phonetically whimsical. However, ‘uninformed’ suggests you have no awareness of something that should be heard, and that the fault lays with you. 'Misinformed' is a failed attempt at knowledge; 'uninformed' lacks any attempt at all. The latter (uninformed) would make you happier since ignorance is bliss when eating with Dunning and Kreuger. The former (misinformed) is a failed attempt only if you stop trying to question your information. If the 'misinformeds' stop questioning their information, they slide into the scruffy group of 'uninformeds'. Such question is an undertaking of more than one lifetime. Alas, we will struggle to live past eighty and I need to make my dinner: happiness or knowledge? I’ll take a burger instead.
