QOTM: Ain't That The Truth

Guest Post: Humanity Is Rising | ZeroHedge: "“The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.” -- Charles Bukowski"
Yes, that means quote of the millenium. And the reason is that the "smart ones" -- meaning those with the expensive educations -- are actually the ones stupid enough to believe they are the smart ones. God in other words. And it's been that way throughout human history.

Which brings me back to Eric Blair for the quote of the human epoch: “There are some ideas so absurd that only an intellectual could believe them.” ― George Orwell
