If I acted ignorant, that'd drive me more insane than I already am. That's because ignorance is something that you can't act out; it's not one of those things that you can "fake it 'till you make it", it's one of those things where by faking being ignorant you actually may become less ignorant. Since I wish to become ignorant, I must then not pretend to be ignorant and I must pretend to be some sort of intellectual; this may logically lead to me becoming more ignorant, which is what I wish to achieve.
