"The Tao that can be named is not the eternal Tao"

I'd say it's a matter of perspective rather than ignorance. There's little to be known here. Most of what you think is real knowledge is part of a subjective story, told by you, to yourself, from your perspective based on your beliefs. That story may be shared by many but that doesn't change the fact that it is just a story.

Since you can't turn off your own internal dialogue I think it best to tell yourself the most non limiting story you can.

'They hold some limiting beliefs' is the most accurate & non judgemental story I can find to tell myself.

I understand your sentiment, I've just been humbled too many times to believe that I'm further on this journey than another.
