Yes, but you can at least knowingly commit to following the advice. Build a robot that detects whether you are in total ignorance, and takes a random action if so. Then forget about the robot.
But a robot that one has forgotten about taking a random action for some forgotten reason isn't likely to reduce one's state of ignorance.
