A remarkable man given his insight into the human condition(s). How he remained positive in the face of Stupidity confounds me. It may simply have been the least worse ground to stand upon...

In simple terms: the "better"/smarter we get, the worse the rest of the world appears, until one day we have no one to talk to, because: a) they do not understand us anymore, since they do not know what we know, and b) we can no longer go along with and tolerate their ignorance and "stupidity". So, we either leave, or try to tell/show them how stupid they are, which is not received well. The result: "they" are happy without "us", "we" are miserable without "them". Question: WHO is REALLY STUPID, "they" or "we"?

[@pinkopalinko1840]

Here is the really ironic part. Every human being looks at others and describes their stupidity. When in fact, there are no exceptions in the species. Well except for me, of course.

[@WiseDailyReflections]

😊🔝

[@user-wt1jd4rc9n]

Indeed, there is a high percentage of human beings who are not as advanced as others, But that is not the fault of humans, it is the nature of our races. There are races that are more intelligent than others, just as there are dogs that are more intelligent than others.What would be very good is that human beings were aware that not all human beings are intelligent, it is like dogs, there are dogs that are more intelligent than others. These are great truths that human beings must learn and accept that we are all different, there are human beings who are born more intelligent than others, but it is not anyone's fault, that is nature.

I know I'm stupid. So I assume that just about everybody is smarter than I am. But there appears to be a large segment of the population even stupider than I am. Some say that knowing that he is stupid is a sign of intelligence. If that's really true, then I'm a world-class genius.

[@JamesHawkeYouTube]

Which knowledge was the true stuff?

[@WiseDailyReflections]

True knowledge, according to Erasmus, was rooted in the awareness of one’s limits and the humility to recognize one’s ignorance, as opposed to the arrogance of those who believe they are wise without actually being so.
