A power analysis should stimulate ideas for strategies for engaging with the main institutions that drive or block change. It should dissolve the monoliths of ‘the state’ or ‘big business’ or ‘the international system’ into turbulent networks full of potential allies as well as opponents. A power analysis should also help us understand how those allies and opponents perceive the change, and why change doesn’t happen—the forces of inertia and paradigm maintenance.

Duncan Green
The fact that *ignorance grows in tandem with new knowledge* is the reason why we are, at the individual level, equal unknowers. People do have more or less knowledge or intelligence than other people, but __often it is this very strength, one’s superior knowledge, that can be the main hindrance to perceiving one’s own ignorance.__
