the crucial element is the brain – even a crab could have one. As ignorance has been mentioned, it is created in the human brain. People are not ignorant by nature, rather the opposite. From the very early upbringing and development of cognitive functioning, a brain adapts to the environment and adjusts the thinking patterns accordingly.

However I keep being told that ignorance is sometimes called a rather typical British attitude. All the recent accidents in the UK NS sector seem to include some sort of ignorance. Is it really just luck the Norwegians did not have such a chain of accidents? In the wider picture there might simply be a bit of a greater cultural issue. Human structures in Scandinavia seem less hierarchic and the seniors are far less autocratic. It would be interesting to research the effect of such a difference in culture on cognitive performance during complex tasks like NS helicopter operations.

So just keep calm and carry on?
