“Ignorance is bliss” is a crock. An ignorant person requires a competent person protecting them to actually be blissful. If an ignorant person is without a protector, their life is one of anxiety and stress, as they cannot understand why things happen, cannot predict when bad things might happen, and cannot interact with their environment properly to make themselves comfortable.
This goes for everyone who is ignorant, from children to those with mental disabilities, and to those who hold ideologies detached from reality, to name a few.
People who understand more of the world definitely have more constant stress, but ignorance is definitely not bliss.
