I Like a Good Quote

[i]“The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.”[/i]

- Charles Bukowski
This is aggravated by the idea that a college degree represents intelligence and a farm tractor represents stupidity.

@Mamapolo2016 Yes you are correct. But look at the confidence the dunces run with.... it's almost entertaining.
@Serpico My dad used to say (probably a quote): Y'know, it ain't that people are wrong so much. It's just that they know so much stuff that ain't so.

That man had a brilliant and humorous mind. Of course, this is so evident, we don't need a rocket scientist to give such an analysis. Sad.

@SW-User He was a tragic genius artist.

Intelligence vs. stupidity, doubts vs. confidence, sounds much like xing and xang. Both sides are always present within, it all depends on which you feed.

Or wisest is she who knows she does not know?

@MayaHope Anyone who thinks they have the answers, or mastered themselves or knows all.... is typically the least wise person in the room.

Well I’m always alone in the room anyway... @Serpico

A wise person never knows all,
then on the other hand..
Ignorance is bliss.
