sional groups meet together, everyone generally seeks to imply that
he has the most highly regarded profession, and that the others' are
less important.
In Ignorantism, every profession has its own particular psy-
chology. If it requires higher education, then its psychology will
consist of the individual's having been to university, and indoctrina-
tion starts with teachers and senior students.
Doctors, for instance, are indoctrinated from the moment they
enter their medical studies with the idea that everyone's health de-
pends on them, and that theirs is the most important profession.
They carry that mindset throughout their lives. The effort made by a
physician to be instrumental in the healing process of a patient or
saving the life of someone who is about to die is highly appreciated
and beautiful. However, a physican living by the morality of igno-
rantism often harbors a perverted belief that it is he who saves the
patient. The fact is, however, that it is Allah who heals a person. The
physicans, drugs, treatment are merely instruments. Pharmacists
develop a similar psychology. Those who graduate from law school
regard themselves as fundamental pillars of justice, as the most in-
telligent and clever people around, with the best powers of judg-
ment, the best able to determine the true facts. Engineers think that
everything they encounter in daily life is the product of their profes-
sion, and, based on that thesis, that their own role is a most excep-
tional one.
The self-employed and those engaging in commerce see them-
selves as the backbone of social and economic life and imagine that
nobody can take their place. At every opportunity, they raise the
idea that were it not for them, people would be in a dire state, even
unable to survive—and that they themselves are very important.
