We should never laugh at somebody for not knowing something, because people are not born knowing things. If you happen to know something that someone else does not, that only means that you have had an educational opportunity that they have not had yet. To say, ‘I can’t believe you didn’t know that,’ is the same thing as saying, ‘I can’t believe you didn’t live the same life as me.’ This is one of the implications of John Locke’s strong empiricism. Today, most people assume that we have to learn from experience, but this hasn’t always been the case. Plato viewed knowledge as recollecting what our souls once knew, and Descartes thought we are all born with certain innate ideas. Innate ideas are those ideas that we are supposedly born with before any experience. But John Locke thought they were absurd, because if there were innate ideas, then everyone in the world would believe in them. But there will always be some exceptions somewhere. As John Locke put it, there will always be a child or an idiot who disagrees with the idea. Secondly, even if there was some kind of universal idea, that doesn’t prove that they are innate, but rather just universal. In place of innate ideas, Locke said that we are born as a tabula rasa, or a blank page, and all knowledge comes from our experience, which acts as a kind of pen. Everything we know starts from experience. Empiricism tells us that all of our ideas come from our environment. We do not know things because of our race, or gender, or our biology. Everything that we know, and all of the ideas in our heads, come because we have just experienced the world a certain way.
