Abstract	Writing in 2011, Philip Kitcher worried in 'Public knowledge and its enemies' that flaws in the dissemination of public knowledge would lead from a state of widespread ignorance to active resistance against expertise and more. Today, we seem to be living in the world Kitcher predicted, where a wide range of facts ranging from the results of democratic processes to public health information are deemed 'fake' by a significant part of the public. By engaging with Kitcher's piece, this article discusses Kitcher's states of ignorance, their implications, and how we may start addressing them.
