Lewis aptly describes this phenomenon when he says of a character who cannot understand the Talking Beasts in Narnia, “The problem with pretending to be stupider than you really are is that eventually you become it.” The state of stubbity is confoundom.


No-ledge- impractical knowledge that cannot be applied to life, or false knowledge which leads away from wisdom. Proponents of no-ledge are found in churches, in temples, in synagogues as well as universities and bar stools.

A friend who earned his doctorate in mathematics and then immediately entered the Catholic priesthood with no knowledge of history, religion, the Bible or himself came back into the real world briefly to tell me that he had learned that a Catholic priest was the center of the universe because as a man made in the image of Jesus Christ he was able to turn bread into God and wine into Blood and keep the world running. This is a deep example of no-ledge.
