Skid, are you saying that if we are ignorant of our arrogance, our arrogance grows?
No, what I’m saying is that our arrogance blinds us to our ignorance assuming arrogance and ego are closely related.

In other words arrogrance will allow us to not see the truth, in fact becoming more ignorant because we stop seeking. Your post was correct but far too limited in application.
