Have you ever wondered that we are the only species for whom this is a concern. You'll never find a group of squirrel gossiping about their fellow squirrel judging this one to be intelligent, or those ones to be stupid and ignorant.
Judgments like this are a way to manipulate people. If I teach that "ignorant" is bad, wrong and something to avoid. I can then use the term to manipulate your actions. If the culture teaches that intelligent is good, I can present goals into what behaviour you will perform to achieve the positive judgment.

Yes. No one can explain where we come from, why we are on earth, why we are alive, why we die, why some people live over 100 y old and why other die as children etc,,,what is our ultimate purpose, where do we go after physical death, what causes homosexuality, explain ghost and spirits phenomenons etc etc...
Until someone can answer questions of that nature, we will remain ignorant. Until we can understand level of conscience, and grow as human beings we will remain ignorant.

The human language can not describe how ignorant we are. It's a feeling.
