Start short-selling your irony meter futures. This didn't just blow
mine up but the one in the house next door as well.

I just checked because I want to add it to the list of random
quotations on my site, and it seems that alternate words a "Nothing
is worse than active ignorance", which doesn't have quite the same
meaning.

Then, of course, there is "There is nothing more frightful than
ignorance in action", which is very probably just another different
translation from German of the same quotation but means something else
again in English.
